West Hollywood’s XMAS in July is a chance to ring-in some festive holiday cheer and recognize the local businesses and employees that make West Hollywood unique. Jingle and mingle in social media with the hashtag #xmasinjuly

More than two-dozen light-pole banners in the City have been decked-out with fun (and sexy!) banners, which feature images of six different people who work in West Hollywood’s local bars and restaurants. The bright yellow banners are featured along Santa Monica Boulevard street lamps between La Cienega and Robertson Boulevards.

On Saturday, July 25, 2015, a range of local bars and cafes served-up specialty selections to help make the summer Christmas season bright. To help make the most of XMAS in July, the City id posting regular “top tips” on how to deck the halls, as well. The PickUp, West Hollywood’s Free Nighttime Ride, celebrated XMAS in July on the 25^th, too, as PickUp drivers wore Santa hats.
