Old Hollywood Walking Tour
About this Event
Every Block of Hollywood Boulevard Tells a Story. Most People Walk Right Past Them.
Join Hollywood historian April Clemmer, featured in the Los Angeles Times and as a Hollywood history expert on PBS, for an immersive walking tour through the heart of Hollywood. For nearly a decade, April has been helping visitors and locals uncover the fascinating history hiding in plain sight through engaging storytelling, deep historical research, and the very streets where it all happened.
As you walk through Hollywood's historic core, you'll discover the sites of Hollywood's first movie theater, early silent film locations, legendary hotels and restaurants, the story behind the Hollywood Sign, and other hidden gems that reveal how a small farming community became the entertainment capital of the world.
This isn't a celebrity homes tour or a collection of gossip and ghost stories. It's a chance to experience Hollywood through the places, people, and moments that shaped the film industry—and to see one of the world's most famous neighborhoods with completely new eyes.
Whether you're a classic film enthusiast, a history lover, a first-time visitor, or a longtime Angeleno, you'll come away with a deeper appreciation for Hollywood's remarkable past and the stories still waiting to be discovered around every corner.
