Lance Bass Reads The Legend of Mrs. Claws at The Grove

Lance Bass is bringing holiday storytime to the Fairfax District. On Sunday, November 15, the author and former NSYNC singer visits the Barnes & Noble at The Grove to read from his new children's picture book, The Legend of Mrs. Claws, then sign copies and pose for photos.

When: Sunday, November 15, 2026, 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM Where: Barnes & Noble at The Grove, 189 The Grove Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90036 Price: $23.97 per the Eventbrite listing

What to expect

The Legend of Mrs. Claws is a companion to Bass's bestselling picture book Trick or Treat on Scary Street, and it turns the spotlight to the North Pole. The event is a reading plus a signing and photo op, so expect the author to read aloud, then a line that moves one ticket holder at a time.

The store has set a few ground rules worth knowing before you go:

• Books will be pre-signed, and no personalization is offered.
• No gifts, autographs on other items or personalized videos.
• A Barnes & Noble bookseller takes your photo on your own phone or camera.
• Large bags are not allowed inside the event.

Check the Eventbrite page for the full ticket terms, since the store sets them and they can change.

Planning your visit

If you are collecting things to do in Los Angeles with kids this season, this one pairs easily with the rest of The Grove. The shopping center sits beside the Original Farmers Market, so lunch before or after the reading is simple. Tickets are the way in, so book ahead rather than showing up at noon.

The Grove has a large parking structure, and the Fairfax area is busy on weekends, so leave extra time. Rideshare drop-off is the easiest option when the garage fills up. For more ideas, browse our arts and culture events and keep an eye on LA events this weekend as the holiday calendar fills in.

A children's book signing is a low-key way to start the holiday season, and fans who grew up on the boy band years get a chance to meet the author in person.
