About Hollywood Christmas Parade
The Hollywood Christmas Parade is a beloved annual event that takes over public streets along a specific U‑shaped route in Hollywood. While there isn’t a single indoor venue, reserved grandstand seating lines Hollywood Boulevard to welcome spectators, and curbside viewing remains free for those who prefer to watch from the sidewalks. The route runs 3.2 miles, starting at Hollywood Blvd and Orange Drive, heading east to Vine, then turning south on Vine to Sunset, and finally west on Sunset back to Orange Drive. We’ve got you with practical tips for seating, parking, transit, and nearby hotels and dining to help you plan a smooth, family‑friendly experience.
For a seamless experience, consider arriving early to secure parking, and plan your transit in advance. Ovation Hollywood (the former Hollywood & Highland center) sits adjacent to the parade path and offers convenient access. When you’re staying nearby, top hotel options like Loews Hollywood Hotel and The Hollywood Roosevelt provide comfortable proximity to the route and pre‑parade activities. The event features celebrity appearances and pre‑parade entertainment with a national TV broadcast on The CW, and supports Marine Toys for Tots as its charity partner. Secure your seats early with trusted partners, and enjoy a true Hollywood holiday experience with reliable, friendly service.
