The Music Center of Los Angeles County, located in downtown Los Angeles, houses the city’s major performing arts venues: the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, home to the Los Angeles Opera and the Los Angeles Philharmonic; and two theaters, the Ahmanson Theater and the Mark Taper Forum.
Major venues outside the City of Los Angeles include the Pasadena Playhouse, the Orange County Performing Arts Center in Costa Mesa, and the San Gabriel Civic Auditorium, which stage everything from seasonal repertory theater to international ballet performances.
Several annual festivals have become strong regional traditions in this young metropolis. The best known worldwide is the Rose Parade, held in Pasadena on New Year’s Day since the 1890s, featuring elaborate floats made from live roses and other flowers.
The large Mexican American population celebrates Cinco de Mayo (Fifth of May), which commemorates the expulsion of the French from Mexico in 1862.
