About this Event

  • Carolers from Choral Arts Initiative
  • Eisner Intergenerational Big Band from Heart of Los Angeles
  • Youth musicians from Riverside Arts Academy, Education Through Music-Los Angeles and Music Will

Located in the courtyard outside the Ahmanson Theatre at The Music Center in Downtown Los Angeles. Accessible via:

  • Metro (Civic Center / Grand Park station or the Grand Ave Arts / Bunker Hill station)
  • Public transportation and rideshare

The Music Man Foundation established National "It’s Beginning to Look Like Christmas" Day after a new national survey showed that Americans overwhelmingly agreed that the day after Thanksgiving is when it begins to look like Christmas.

The free celebration is hosted by The Music Man Foundation, created to honor songwriter Meredith Willson, who also wrote “The Music Man” musical. Today, the Foundation donates 100% of profits from Willson’s licensing royalties to community organizations that use music to catalyze enduring change.
