Olympic planning, $561K holiday decor on Beverly Hills agendas

Beverly Hills committees met last week to discuss initial programming for the 2028 Olympics and a proposed holiday decoration plan for Rodeo Drive. No votes were taken at either meeting; both were agenda items only, with minutes not yet published.

LA28 Olympics planning

The LA28 Liaison Committee met June 29 to discuss and provide direction on initial Olympic programming proposals. Key items included:

A proposal to partner with Israeli, German, and U.S. Olympic committees to host a memorial event for the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics massacre.
Requests from countries such as Romania and France to rent private homes as hospitality houses during the Games.
A study session on short- and long-term rental code adjustments planned for summer 2026.
Temporary modifications needed to the city's banner policy and anti-advertising ordinance to allow official LA28 banners.
Future agenda items may include participation in the Cultural Olympiad and Sister City events. Staff recommended the committee meet bi-monthly moving forward.

Rodeo Drive holiday decor proposal

The Rodeo Drive Special Events and Holiday Program Committee on June 30 reviewed a proposal for the 2026 holiday display on Rodeo Drive. The design features gemstone-themed installations with 16-foot wreaths and 12-foot gem sculptures. The budget request is $561,358, funded by the Tourism and Marketing budget (TOT). The display would run seven weeks, from Nov. 19, 2026, through Jan. 3, 2027.

Optional upgrades include additional garland ($23,058) and icicle lights ($12,340.80). The committee sought feedback on the design and budget and took public comment. The holiday decor is separate from the citywide holiday decorations and the Holiday Lighting Celebration event.
