Since 1964, the Los Angeles County Arts Commission has produced a free, annual holiday show--the biggest in L.A.--at the Music Center. The best-kept secret in town happens on Wednesday, December 24 from 3:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Forty-seven performing arts groups - totaling about 1,200 artists - will appear in the 49th Annual L.A. County Holiday Celebration at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Acts include handbells, choral performances, ballet, mariachi bands, klezmer music, taiko drums, and well-known groups like Dengue Fever and Celtic Spring.
The celebration is a gift to the people of Los Angeles County from the Board of Supervisors, so admission and parking under the Music Center are FREE.
No reservations are necessary. Doors open at 2:30 p.m. You can come and go as you please throughout the afternoon and evening. For those who can't make it downtown, the show is broadcast live on KCET.
