Venice is one of Los Angeles’ most distinctive and internationally known neighborhoods—a place where the Venice Canals Historic District’s quiet bridges and holiday-lit homes coexist with Abbot Kinney Boulevard’s world-class galleries and restaurants, and where the community’s holiday traditions reflect the same creative, community-centered character that defines this neighborhood year-round. The Venice Holiday Sign Lighting at Pacific and Windward brings over a hundred local businesses together each December, and the Venice Canals’ bridge lights draw visitors from throughout LA for an intimate holiday atmosphere that has no peer in the city. House of Kringle’s Santa Claus serves Venice for private home visits throughout December, from the canal neighborhood to the residential streets east of the boardwalk. House of Kringle brings 93 verified GigSalad bookings to Venice—more than any other Santa serving this community.
