DTLA's Biggest Switch-Flipping Ceremony is Dec. 3
Celebrate Downtown’s brightest night of the year with Grand Performances and the DTLA Alliance, as Liquid PXL lights up The Yard at Cal Plaza with a dazzling display of color, motion, and magic. From the ever-changing hues of the Electric Dandelions to new interactive light displays, come see DTLA glow starting Thursday, Dec. 3.
The Opening Celebration on Dec. 3 coincides with DTLA ArtNight: Grand Avenue and features a holiday market (noon to 8 p.m.), a stage show at 5 p.m., a community countdown and tree lighting at 5:30 p.m., and a live band to follow.
