About

Hollywood Forever Cemetery doubles as a film venue and historic landmark. It's home to Cinespia, an outdoor screening series that shows cult favorites on summer nights. You can BYOB, grab food on-site, and explore the famous graves among the crowd. This is a signature LA summer event, not just a cemetery.

Head here for a movie under the stars, with photo ops and quirky surprises. The vibe is relaxed and social, an alternative to bar scenes. For more quiet outdoor art, nearby Descanso Gardens offers a different botanical escape.

From the community

This is a really interesting and somewhat spooky part of LA's history, and it's also where Cinespia hosts outdoor movie nights featuring cult classics. It's a great option instead of going to bars, since you can bring your own drinks or buy food and alcohol there, and there are wonderful people, fun photo opportunities, and often other fun surprises. It's a classic summer activity in the city!

This is a real iconic spot in Los Angeles! If you can attend Cinespia (an outdoor movie event) or just visit for photos, it's definitely worth it.
