## About

The 67th annual L.A. County Holiday Celebration is a free 90-minute live variety show on the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion stage, presented by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors with The Music Center. Twelve local music ensembles, choirs and dance companies represent the many cultures of the county; the 2026 lineup includes the Aara Ensemble, AGBU LA Choir, Dr. Quincy D. Fielding Jr.'s GRACE Choir, Harmonic Bronze, Malaya Filipino American Dance Arts, Shakti Dance Company, the UCLA Klezmer Ensemble and Yaya Dance Academy. For the first time there are two live performances on the same Sunday, at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Admission is free, but reservations are required: a limited number of tickets are released in three drops on December 8, 9 and 10, 2026, at 10 a.m. each day, so families need to book on one of those mornings. The Music Center recommends the show for ages 6 and older. Complimentary parking is offered in The Music Center's garages. The show is also broadcast on PBS SoCal on December 24 for those who cannot get seats.
