On Nov. 18, Beverly Hills will say let there be light, marking the return of the annual Rodeo Drive Holiday Lighting Celebration after its COVID-19 hiatus last year. From
5 to 8 p.m., a three-block stretch of Rodeo Drive will transform into an outdoor performance space, featuring singing, dancing, and acrobatics. The night will culminate in an address by Mayor Robert Wunderlich followed by a fireworks display.
“It’s been 18 months of this pandemic. We all truly feel that the community is ready to celebrate safely,” Kathy Gohari, President of the Rodeo Drive Committee, told the Courier. “Between everything that we’ve all gone through, it just makes us appreciate spending time together as a community.”
