One week until Venice Sign Holiday Lighting Party

The Venice Chamber of Commerce and local merchants are counting down to the third annual Venice Sign Holiday Lighting Party and Venice Crawl on Friday, Dec. 5, at the Venice Sign on Windward Avenue.

Festivities will begin at 6:15 p.m. with a pre-lighting ceremony beginning at 7:45 p.m. and the actual lighting at 8 p.m.

Venice Councilman Mike Bonin and a special celebrity guest will pull the switch and change the Venice sign colors from white to red and green. Previous events featured actors Robert Downey Jr. and Anjelica Huston who helped to light the sign.

The City of Los Angeles will close Windward Avenue east of Pacific Avenue and present a free concert of holiday music featuring a performance by the Venice Symphony Orchestra.

A limited number of tables are available to those who participate in the event as a sponsor, and tables will be available for purchase a la carte by businesses looking to introduce themselves, their service or products to the Venice community and for non-profits. Those interested can contact info@venicechamber.net or call 310.822.5425.

The Venice Chamber is also collecting toys for the Muscle Beach and Great Venice Toy Drives. People who donate a new unwrapped toy will receive a wristband good for discounts during the Venice Crawl at participating businesses. Collection boxes will be at the Chamber and VNC tables.

The Venice Sign, a federally registered trademark of the Venice Chamber of Commerce and Venice’s most iconic symbol, attracts thousands of tourists to Venice.

The Venice Chamber is working on replacing the regular single color bulbs with color changing LED bulbs that will make it easier for the Chamber to change the colors of the bulbs for all future events.

These bulbs will allow the Chamber to change the sign’s colors throughout the year at no additional cost, such as red for Valentine’s Day, green for St. Patrick’s Day, and many others.

The Chamber plans to launch a fundraising drive for this technology. Those interested in donating can go to www.venicesign.org.

The Venice Chamber of Commerce is an organization of business leaders who actively serve as advocates for the ever-growing Venice business community.

Through dynamic networking events and diverse committees, we support the interests of area businesses and contribute, to improving the vitality of the local economy; positioning Venice as the “creative soul” of Los Angeles. To learn more about the Venice Chamber, visit www.venicechamber.net.
