Each year, the botanical garden’s nighttime experience masterfully mixes hands-on art installations with atmospheric, luminescent forests, all against a background of uplit trees and shimmery sound effects. This year’s event, which runs through January 5, adds in garden’s new model railroad, which will be all lit up for the season.
After endless, premature teases from retailers, the holidays are here for real, and they’ve taken over our December events calendar. Dive into the spirit of giving with a stop at one of the best gift shops in L.A., or behold one of the city’s best Christmas lights displays. If you’re sticking around town this year and feeling a little lonely, maybe consider embracing it with some me-time at one of these secluded getaways. Whatever your plans are—even if you’re feeling like a bit of a grinch—you’ll find plenty of activities to take advantage of in our December events calendar.
