Speaking of ice skating, the Pershing Square Holiday Ice Skating Rink is open and perfect for anyone wanting to channel their inner figure skater without the competitive trauma.
But here's where it gets WEIRD and wonderful. The LA Auto Show just wrapped up on November 30th, and if you missed it, you definitely dodged some traffic. However, the real hidden gem that locals know about is the Marina del Rey Holiday Boat Parade on December 13th, running from 10 AM to 8 PM. Imagine holiday lights reflected across the water—absolutely stunning and way less crowded than traditional parades.
Now, for you electronic music fanatics, December 5th is INSANE. Matroda is taking over Grand Park at 5 PM with bass house that'll make your eardrums do backflips.

For the cultured crowd, American Contemporary Ballet presents The Nutcracker Suite TODAY at 2 PM—it's actually happening right now as you listen. December 5th brings Home Alone in Concert from 8 PM to 10 PM, which is the most delightfully bizarre way to experience a holiday classic.

If you want something more intimate, the LA Philharmonic's New Year's Eve concert on December 31st from 10:30 PM to 11:45 PM is absolutely transcendent.
For the adventurous locals, the Tournament of Roses Parade on January 1st, 2026 starts at 8 AM—legendary floats and pure Pasadena glory. Light Up Valley Village on December 6th is that hidden community gem that makes LA feel like a actual neighborhood instead of a sprawling metropolis.
