Your Curated 2026 Beverly Hills Calendar

From art to design, live demonstrations add an interactive element to many Beverly Hills events.

The beauty of Beverly Hills is that there’s no single way to experience it. From art-filled weekends to new restaurant openings, the variety of events in Beverly Hills and its nearby areas make it easy to shape each week around what excites you most. Here’s what to look forward to in 2026.

The signature events

Some events in Beverly Hills don’t need an introduction. They’re the ones people come back for—year after year, season after season—because they’ve become as much a part of the city as Rodeo Drive itself.

1. Beverly Hills artSHOW

   The Beverly Hills Art Show, now approaching its 50th year, is not just a weekend event. It is a cultural tradition that has shaped the city’s artistic identity since 1973, when it first debuted as the Affaire in the Gardens. Each spring, park paths and green spaces are lined with artwork from hundreds of artists representing California, the U.S., and international locations.

   The Spring 2026 Beverly Hills Art Show in May features more than 235 artists working across a wide range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, photography, watercolor, ceramics, glass, jewelry, mixed media, drawing, printmaking, and digital art. All artwork is original and the artists will be present throughout the event, giving visitors the chance to learn more about the work directly from its creators.

   The Beverly Hills Art Show also includes live artist demonstrations that allow guests to see artistic techniques in action, chalk art installations, and hands-on creative hubs.

2. Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance

   On Father’s Day each year, the world’s most famous shopping street closes to traffic and opens instead to one of Beverly Hills’ most popular traditions: the Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance. Now marking three decades, this one-day celebration has become a defining moment on the city’s cultural calendar.

   Stretching between Wilshire Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard, the Concours lines Rodeo Drive with around 100 rare and remarkable vehicles. Hypercars, supercars, vintage classics, race cars, and bespoke builds fill the boulevard, many of which were drawn from private collections and legendary manufacturers. Visitors are free to stroll the street and view the cars up close and at their own pace. Then beginning at midday, a select group of industry leaders, collectors, and civic figures present honors ranging from “Most Elegant” to “Best in Show.”

   Each year introduces something new. Recent events have featured film-related displays, Formula 1 elements, and high-profile vehicle debuts from brands such as Aston Martin, McLaren, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Mercedes-Benz.

3. Beverly Hills Farmers Market

   Open year-round every Sunday, this certified outdoor market has become an easy weekly ritual for locals. Set along Civic Center Drive between Third Street and Santa Monica Boulevard, the Beverly Hills Farmers Market brings together regional farmers and specialty vendors known for their quality and craftsmanship.

   You’ll find peak-season California produce, fresh-pressed juices that prioritize flavor, artisan breads and baked goods, and specialty items chosen for their ingredients as much as their taste.

   The Beverly Hills Farmers Market also has live music, a petting zoo, and family-friendly activities throughout the year. Residents look forward to seasonal Beverly Hills events like the annual Pie Bake a’la Beverly Hills and Piesta in June and the annual PickleFest in August.

4. Doggy Daze 90210

   Once a year, Roxbury Park becomes the happiest place in Beverly Hills for four-legged residents and the people who adore them. This signature event in Beverly Hills, which started more than a decade ago, turns the park’s playfully named “Wiggly Field” into a celebration of pets, community, and companionship.

   Held in early November, Doggy Daze 90210 invites residents and visitors to bring their dogs, meet fellow pet lovers, and enjoy the different activities spread throughout the space. A costumed pet parade kicks things off, followed by a talent showcase where dogs show off everything from impressive tricks to pure personality.

   Doggy Daze also supports local rescue organizations and gives attendees the chance to meet animals in need of loving homes and learn more about adoption.

Beverly Hills benefits from everything happening around it. The greater Los Angeles area attracts world-class events and being this close to all of it makes living here feel that much more dynamic.

Among the host cities, SoFi Stadium in Inglewood is Southern California’s premier venue for the event.

2. Hollywood Bowl and LA Phil

   For more than a century, the Hollywood Bowl has been synonymous with summer nights in Los Angeles. Carved into the hills above the city, this open-air amphitheater is the seasonal home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The 2025–2026 season carries special weight as part of Gustavo Dudamel’s farewell year with the LA Phil, marking the end of a transformative era.

   Dudamel’s final season celebrates the artistic spirit that’s defined his 17 years with the orchestra.
