Holiday Village in Westwood Village

Westwood Village is putting up a themed holiday village on Saturday, December 12, and the whole thing runs through the afternoon on Broxton Avenue. The listing describes it as a celebration of the holidays in the Village, with a festive setup built around the season rather than a single stage show.

It lands a few weeks after the neighborhood's tree lighting, which makes it a good second round for anyone who missed the first one. If you're sorting through things to do in Los Angeles in the middle of December, this is the low-effort, walkable kind of outing that doesn't need a plan.

When: Saturday, December 12, 2026, noon to 5 PM Where: 1036 Broxton Ave, Westwood Village Hosted by: Westwood Village Improvement Association

What to expect

The organizer's listing is short. It promises a themed holiday village in the heart of Westwood Village and not much more, so treat the specifics as a pleasant surprise rather than a checklist. Holiday markets and village-style setups in a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood core usually mean decorations, photo spots and a reason to wander between the shops and restaurants nearby.

The same plaza hosted the neighborhood's holiday tree this season, and the photo above shows how the area looks after dark: a big lit tree, palms wrapped in string lights and plenty of people stopping for selfies. Expect the same festive backdrop in the daylight hours, which is easier going if you have small kids in tow.

Planning your visit

The event runs from noon to 5 PM, so you can go for lunch, wander through the afternoon and still be home before dark. No ticket price is published on the listing, so check the AllEvents page before you head out to see whether anything has been added.

• Westwood Village is compact and walkable. Once you park, you won't need the car again.
• Parking is a mix of metered street spots and public structures. Saturdays in December fill up, so allow extra time or take a rideshare.
• Broxton Avenue sits a few blocks south of the UCLA campus, an easy trip from the 405 or by bus.
• The weather is usually mild by day, but bring a layer for the late afternoon.

If you're collecting LA events this weekend or building a December calendar, this one is easy to slot in around other plans. Browse more arts and culture events for other ways to fill out the season, and see the Los Angeles neighborhood page for what else is nearby.

Details can change, so confirm the hours and any activities on the official AllEvents listing before you go.
