Hollywood High School

Because the festival is at the historic Hollywood High School, there are many attractions nearby. Across the street is the iconic Mel’s Drive-In. Within walking distance is the famous TCL Grauman's Chinese Theater (with the concrete handprints). The Ghiradelli Soda Fountain, next to the El Capitan Theater, is also nearby, as is Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum. And don't forget the epic Hollywood sign, just up the hill. We hope to see you in Hollywood, May 17!
