Beverly Hills Holiday Lighting Celebration

While you're out admiring all the holiday window displays on Rodeo Drive this weekend, make sure to stop by Rodeo Drive Committee's Beverly Hills Holiday Lighting Celebration. 

On Sunday, Nov. 20 at 5 p.m., the city will celebrate the season with restaurant tastings, acrobatics, stilt walkers, and an hour-long performance starting at 6 p.m. featuring Broadway star Megan Hilty. The shopping hotspot will have plenty of decorative installations for the perfect Pretty Woman-inspired Rodeo selfie.

And, in the spirit of giving, the community is hosting a #RodeoGivesBack holiday coat drive for The Salvation Army. The stage is at the 200 block of Rodeo Drive.

360 Cashmere

Luxury sweater brand 360 Cashmere, a favorite of Michelle Rodriguez and Ellie Goulding, is hosting a sample sale just in time for the chilly weather L.A. has been experiencing over the past few days. 

The casual-cool sweaters, made of 100 percent cashmere, are the perfect oversized pieces for your Thanksgiving feast. Both cash and credit cards are accepted at the sale, but a three percent fee is charged for credit cards, so we recommend hitting the ATM ahead of time. The space will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
