## About

Set in the open-air plaza of The Bloc in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, Sparkle DTLA is a vibrant urban holiday light experience featuring 18 million synchronized multi-colored LED lights and a soaring 32-foot interactive holiday tree. Every evening from mid-November through New Year's Eve, hourly light shows bring the plaza to life as thousands of lights pulsate and shimmer in choreography to upbeat holiday pop songs and classic seasonal tunes. Families can stroll under illuminated canopy arches, snap holiday family photos in front of lighted ornament displays, and grab hot chocolate and sweet treats from surrounding artisanal eateries.
