Perhaps the most famous happening in the Los Angeles events calendar is the annual Oscars night celebration in February or March, when the stars of the big screen from all over the world converge on the city for the Academy Awards. This event draws the biggest names in Show biz, and most hotels in the city are completely full over the period immediately before and after as fans descend on the city to see their idols.

There is more to Los Angeles events than just the Oscars though, and thanks to the size of the city and the breadth of different cultures that call it home, there is something on practically every weekend that will leave you excited to be in the city of LA.

Some of the biggest celebrations in the city come on major US holidays such as Independence Day on July 4th. Aside from being the biggest weekend of the year for movie goers, when the annual summer blockbusters are released, it is also a great weekend for Los Angeles events in the great outdoors, and many people choose to go hiking in the hills and canyons around Hollywood and enjoy barbeques in the open air to enjoy summer.

Christmas is a very special time at the original Disney Land theme park in Anaheim, and the park is decorated from end to end with festive lights and accessories that make it a real treat for children. There are big and brash Los Angeles events such as parades and fireworks shows every night that kids of all ages will find entrancing.

Movie premiers offer plenty of glamour, glitz and a showering of superstars. Thanks to the prolific nature of the US film industry based in Hollywood, most people who are in the city for a week or more should get the chance to see at least on film premiere. Simply head down to the theatre where it is to take place, and you will be able to watch and even meet your heroes as they walk along the red carpet and meet their fans. Movie premieres are some of the best Los Angeles events and combine all that is great about this exciting city.
