Open Call
“Rodeo Drive Has Talent”
Perform live at the 2026 Rodeo Drive Holiday Lighting Celebration
The stage is open! The City of Beverly Hills and the Rodeo Drive Committee are launching “Rodeo Drive Has Talent,” a new open call for performers and entertainers of all kinds. One selected act will perform live at the annual Rodeo Drive Holiday Lighting Celebration on Thursday, November 19, 2026 along with other talented and celebrated performers.
Each November, thousands of guests gather under the palm trees for a free evening of live music, dance and celebration. Last year’s program featured Chris Mann, Hugh Sheridan, James Tormé, and Bei Bei (荷蓓蓓). This year, one act will earn a place on that same stage. Vocalists, solo artists, bands and variety acts are all invited to apply.
How to apply
Applications are open September 14 through October 12, 2026. Complete the application form and include a link to your audition video. Your video should be no longer than one minute.
Who reviews the submissions
A panel made up of the Entertainment Director and the Executive Producer of the Rodeo Drive Holiday Lighting Celebration, along with a member of the Rodeo Drive Committee Executive Board, will review every application and select one act.
