Beverly Hills Rodeo Drive Holiday Lighting Celebration Set for November 19, Free and Open to the Public
The City of Beverly Hills, in Los Angeles County, California, and the Rodeo Drive Committee have announced the return of the annual Rodeo Drive Holiday Lighting Celebration on Thursday, November 19, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. This year's celebration, themed "50 Years of Brilliance" in honor of Rodeo Drive's 50th anniversary, is free and open to the public.
Beverly Hills Mayor Craig Corman said the lighting celebration has become a cherished tradition for the community and visitors from around the world, and that this year's theme celebrates the extraordinary history of Rodeo Drive. Kathy Gohari, President of the Rodeo Drive Committee, said that fifty years ago Fred Hayman understood Rodeo Drive could be much more than a shopping destination — it could be an experience — and that this year's celebration reflects that vision.
Hosted by Ali Ward, the evening's lineup includes vocalist Dani Armstrong, six-time Grammy Award winner Daniel Ho presenting Island Holidays, and DJ Lady Sha. The winners of the inaugural Rodeo Drive Has Talent search — Los Angeles singer-songwriter Ortal Edri and eight-year-old vocalist Marianna Kriuchenkova — will also perform. The festivities culminate in a countdown and the ceremonial lighting by the Mayor, City Councilmembers and the Committee's Executive Board, followed by a fireworks finale.
Wine gardens and food trucks will line the street, and the holiday décor will remain on display through January 3, 2027. Details are at beverlyhills.org/holidaysbh.
