Can you still bring your own food and drinks?

Yes absolutely, but only for direct bowl events. Rod Stewart is an outside event so check.

Check the rules for the event you are attending.

I agree with Howard...

This has nothing to do with the public being Latino or white, the Hollywood Bowl series concerts allows alcohol and food, the private events allow only food.

It depends on which organization hosts the event. I went to many events that yiu can bring your own food and drinks; the only condition: closed bottles.

Depends on the event. Last Saturday for the Enanitos Verdes and Hombres G they didn't allow...they figured that all the Latinos would get too drunk if they allowed everyone to bring their own booze...joke was on them though, cause I didn't see one sober face in the crowd...he he. Just check on the concert you are going to see and if it concerns white people, I'm pretty sure you can bring ur picnic basket and booze with you...i.e...Playboy Jazz Festival.

They don't let you bring water in either. Food is fine though.

Absolutely but not alcohol... You gotta buy booze there
