LADP PERFORMS: CITY OF DANCE | HOLLYWOOD FOREVER CEMETERY
Hollywood Forever
6000 Santa Monica Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90038
Wednesday, June 17 | 7:00 PM
Free and Open to all. RSVP is required.
Hollywood Forever is one of Los Angeles’s most storied cultural landmarks. Founded in 1899 and home to generations of artists, filmmakers, and musicians, the site has evolved into a place where memory, history, and contemporary culture coexist. Today, it is known as much for its concerts, film screenings, and public gatherings as for its historic grounds.
City of Dance brings movement into a reflective landscape, inviting audiences to experience choreography shaped by the site’s architecture, history, and gardens at dusk.
Getting There
Hollywood Forever is accessible by car, rideshare, and Metro bus. Limited street parking is available on nearby blocks, though restrictions vary, so be sure to check street signs.

A Landmark of Los Angeles History
Hollywood Forever was established at the turn of the twentieth century as one of the first large cemeteries in Los Angeles. Over time, it became intertwined with the history of Hollywood itself, serving as the resting place for actors, directors, writers, and cultural figures who shaped the city’s creative identity.
Its purpose today extends beyond remembrance. It has become a gathering place for community events, performances, and shared experiences.
A Setting Where Architecture and Landscape Meet
The grounds of Hollywood Forever unfold across reflecting pools and gardens, historic mausoleums and chapels, and open lawns framed by mature trees, with long views toward the Hollywood Sign and the neighboring Paramount Studios. Together, these elements create an intimate and expansive setting.
A Twilight Stage for Movement
The performance at Hollywood Forever unfolds at dusk, allowing the choreography to interact with shifting light and the quiet atmosphere of the grounds.
City of Dance activates this historic site as a stage, inviting audiences to experience movement in a place shaped by memory and the passage of time.
