Just because it’s warm in California doesn’t mean we can’t have Christmas magic of our own. We may not have the typical white Christmas, but there is plenty to do to keep the spirits bright. Just steps away from the beaches, Marina Del Rey has created a beautiful park for you all to waltz about feeling the warmth with their spectacular Christmas lights.
Things To Do in L.A. For Christmas
You can see the festive holiday lights dazzle and sparkle all throughout Burton Chace Park every evening during the holiday season, but the real magic happens Saturday evenings. Marina Del Rey puts on a beautiful evening full of festive cheer. From 4pm to 6pm The Wonderettes perform holiday classics in the vein of 1950’s and 1960’s tunes. Classic and bright, you will definitely be having yourself a “Merry Little Christmas.” After the show, screenings of classic Christmas films are shown. This Saturday, December 15th, you can catch Tim Allen in “The Santa Clause.” On December 22nd “A Nightmare Before Christmas,” and if you aren’t ready to stop celebrating after Christmas day you can end the season with Disney’s “Frozen” (sing-a-long style!). The 29th will also feature carolers, “The Voices of Christmas,” dressed in classic Dickens garb during the 4p-6p entertainment slot. Participation in the carols encouraged!
Marina Del Rey Christmas Lights
Throughout the evening you can document your festivities with their giant snow globe photo booth. If you didn’t get a great Instagram photo to document the night, did you even celebrate the holiday season?
The best part of this event? It’s FREE! You can enjoy your evening and save those pennies to put towards stocking stuffers and decadent Christmas treats! There is of course, snacks, hot chocolate, and coffee available for purchase. They have to keep the lights on somehow!
For more information you can check out the event at the Visit Marina Del Rey website.
