A large fire broke out by the Hollywood Bowl as concertgoers were leaving the venue following a “Sound of Music” singalong on Sept. 17.

User videos on the social media app Citizen showed firefighters rushing to put out palm trees that had ignited into flames. LAFD also requested the California Highway Patrol shut down one lane of traffic.

The LAFD posted a notice on its Twitter page after the blaze was under control, writing: “That somewhat stubborn fire near the @HollywoodBowl, our 1,423rd emergency of the day, thankfully involves only vegetation.”

The cause of the fire is not immediately known.

A user who had been at the Saturday night concert wrote, “Leaving the Hollywood Bowl after Sing Along Sound of Music and a small cluster of palm trees was on fire. It burned quickly and was barely embers by the time people reached their cars in stacked parking. While this was happening, the exiting crowd sang Do Re Mi in the tunnel.”

Another user described what appeared to be a fire that came without warning, writing: “Fire outside the Hollywood Bowl right now as we are all leaving the Sound of Music sing along it came out of nowhere — it wasn’t burning as we were walking out that literally just combusted.”

The Bowl’s season is in full swing with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees Duran Duran recently wrapping a three-night run.

Last week, John Williams teased a snippet of “Indiana Jones 5” during a concert held at the Bowl.

These are a few of my favorite things: raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens, and the Sound of Music Sing-a-Long at the Hollywood Bowl. Where else do you get to work your inner Julie Andrews under the stars?

One of The Bowl's most popular annual events, the screening features a pre-show and costume contest starting at 6pm. The screening itself has a lot in common with Rocky Horror, with goody bags handed out at the door to encourage audience participation - including party poppers for the moment when Maria and Captain Von Trapp finally kiss in the gazebo.

The Sound of Music Sing-a-Long can be a great first trip to the Hollywood Bowl; it's a family-friendly event at which no one is expected to sit quietly. It is a long evening, between the pre-show and a long film with intermission, but the pay-off of seeing the Salzburg Festival scene - with its enormous audience singing along in a hillside amphitheater, from an enormous audience singing along in a hillside amphitheater - is really worth the wait. And the fun of cheering on Maria and booing the baroness with so much company is priceless.

Melissa Peterman hosts. Individual tickets for this concert are not yet available.

Details on safety procedures, as well as options for getting to the Bowl, can be found on the site.

Is there a noise ordinance at the Hollywood Bowl?

Don't Plan on Leaving the Concert too Early That being said, there is a noise ordinance in the area of Los Angeles around the Bowl, which stipulates that all concerts must end by 10.

What is the sound of music sing along?

For those of you not yet converted, Sing-a-Long-a Sound of Music is a screening of the classic Julie Andrews film musical in glorious, full-screen Technicolor, complete with lyric subtitles so that the whole audience can sing along.

Is Abba coming to Los Angeles?
