The Rodeo Drive Committee, in collaboration with the city of Beverly Hills, hosted the annual Rodeo Drive holiday lighting celebration on Nov. 14. According to the city, more than 9,000 people attended this year’s event, which serves as a kickoff to the holiday season. This year’s theme was “Rodeo Nights, Holiday Lights,” with highlights that included musical guests as well as candy cane street sweepers, stilt walkers and roller-skating performers. Food trucks dotted the street, serving offerings that included smash burgers, grilled cheese, gluten-free baked goods and schnitzel. The event also featured an appearance from Santa Claus himself and the traditional large fireworks display.
“The holiday season is truly one of the most memorable times of the year. We can all come together as family, friends and neighbors to celebrate a little happiness during a time when we need a little light in our lives as we see some of the darkest events occurring throughout our world,” Mayor Lester Friedman said in a statement.
