Old Town Music Hall is a treasured cultural landmark in El Segundo. Since 1968, it's been showing vintage silent and sound films and presenting live concerts by some of the world's finest performers of jazz, ragtime and popular music from the past.

It's something you really have to see and hear to believe.
