Holiday Light Festival


An annual Griffith Park tradition, a long stretch of Carousel Drive is illuminated with a number of holiday themed displays. The lights are visible by vehicle or foot, and a shuttle from the LA Zoo parking lot shuttles guests along the route most nights to help save on gas. As a special green initiative, the first two weeks are vehicle-free; the lights are only viewable on foot from Dec 4 to 17. Equestrians can enjoy the festival from horseback weeknights (Mon-Thu) from Dec 9 through 30, between 5pm and 8pm; park staff direct path use to keep everyone safe. The DWP Festival is located along a one-mile section of Crystal Springs Drive between the Zoo parking area and the magnificent opening archway. We recommend going through in the left lane for a better view. It's also a good idea to ask one of the guards outside the park how long the drive is, since once inside the park there is no way to go but forward, and the wait can sometimes be as long as two hours.
