What is the Autry tree lighting?
The Autry Museum of the American West starts its holiday season with an evening on its plaza in Griffith Park, built around lighting the museum's tree (Autry tickets page).
The 2026 evening has live music from The Sugar Plums, a DJ, line dancing lessons, food trucks and holiday drinks for sale. The galleries stay open, and the museum store has a discount for the night.
From Los Feliz
Getting there from Los Feliz
The Autry is in Griffith Park, directly across from the Los Angeles Zoo (Zoo directions). Parking is free. The Autry says the venue meets ADA standards and the evening is for all ages.
Zoo Lights opens across the parking lot the night before, so both can fit into one weekend.
