Throughout the month of December, stop by The Ebell of Los Angeles for one of four opportunities for festive delight. You’ll be able to shop small and shop local for gifts from LA’s most talented artisans. Or let the kids visit with Kris Kringle himself while enjoying the Bob Baker Marionettes. Don your holiday best and give your dancing shoes some much needed exercise at the Gold & Silver Holiday Ball, or relax with a holiday tea while the Ebell Chorale presents the season’s most anticipated music. Whether you’re a festive enthusiast who put the tree up the day after Halloween, or a stressed Angeleno who has yet to haul out the holly, you’ll find just the exact amount of merriment for you.
“The Ebell has been a place of tradition, gathering and celebration for over a century, and we are proud to continue that legacy with our holiday programming,” said Laurie Schechter, President of the Board of Directors of The Ebell of LA. “Whether you’re seeking family-friendly entertainment, unique shopping opportunities, or simply a beautiful space to soak in the holiday atmosphere, The Ebell has something for everyone.”
