The Cemetery That Comes Alive: Día de los Muertos at Hollywood Forever
Hollywood Forever Cemetery is the final resting place of some of entertainment's biggest legends, from Old Hollywood icons Judy Garland, Rudolph Valentino, Mickey Rooney, and Cecil B. DeMille to more recent stars, including David Lynch and Chris Cornell. But beyond its famous graves, this historic landmark has transformed how Angelenos gather, grieve, and celebrate life together.
Founded in 1899, Hollywood Forever was once a run-down cemetery facing bankruptcy in 1998. Today, it welcomes visitors from across Southern California for outdoor movie nights, concerts, yoga, and cultural celebrations. Here, Hollywood royalty rests alongside everyday Angelenos, with the cemetery honoring the traditions and memories of diverse communities.
Each year, Hollywood Forever hosts one of the country's largest Día de los Muertos celebrations, drawing tens of thousands of visitors. Golden marigold paths, elaborate altars, traditional dancers, and live music transform the grounds into a vibrant celebration of life and remembrance.
In a bustling city like Los Angeles, Hollywood Forever offers something unexpected—a place where history, Hollywood glamour, culture, and community come together. More than a cemetery, it's a living landmark where the stories of legends and loved ones continue to inspire generations.
