LOS ANGELES, CA. (Top40 Charts/ Casey Sayer & Williams) - The annual free 'Hollywood Christmas Celebration at The Grove' marks a magical start to the holidays on Sunday, November 18 at 7 p.m. This year, the show will feature performances by award winning musicians such as the legendary Smokey Robinson and Patti LaBelle, pop rock icons the Goo Goo Dolls, holiday favorite
Mannheim Steamroller and acclaimed actress and vocalist Emmy Rossum. Celebrity appearances include Patrick Warburton and
Lauren Conrad.
Wishes come true for a third year when The Grove partners with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Los Angeles for its A Season of Wishes campaign, granting a wish to a special child from Los Angeles at the tree lighting. The pinnacle of the night is the arrival of Santa who will light The Grove's 110-foot Christmas tree, followed by snow falling and a spectacular fireworks display choreographed to traditional holiday songs by the HB Barnum Gospel Choir.
Public Notice: After the center has reached its maximum capacity, entry to the holiday show will be closed. Very early arrival is recommended for those wishing to get good views of the stage.
