Star Wars Celebration 2027 LA Planning Guide: Top 5 Things To Do When In Los Angeles

Los Angeles during Star Wars Celebration is a playground of fandom, food, culture, and pure California energy — and these five activities turn your trip into a full‑blown adventure. And yes… Tomo the Shiba Inu already knows exactly which one he’d pick.

⭐ 1. Catch a Dodgers Game at Dodger Stadium

There’s nothing like experiencing Dodger Stadium, one of the most iconic ballparks in the country, especially during spring when Star Wars Celebration takes over the city. The energy is electric, the views of the San Gabriel Mountains are unreal, and the stadium food — from Dodger Dogs to micheladas — hits the spot after a long day at the convention.  

If you’re lucky, you might even catch a themed night or fireworks show. Baseball under the California sky? That’s a win.

⭐ 2. Explore the Sunset Strip

The Sunset Strip is pure L.A. mythology — neon lights, legendary music venues, rooftop bars, and the kind of people‑watching that feels like its own attraction.  

Stop by The Roxy, Whisky a Go Go, or The Comedy Store for late‑night entertainment. Grab dinner at a trendy spot, wander past iconic billboards, and soak in the glam‑rock, Hollywood‑meets‑chaos vibe.  

It’s the perfect contrast to the family‑friendly, fandom‑filled days at the convention center.

⭐ 3. Go Vinyl Record Hunting

L.A. is a vinyl lover’s paradise. Whether you’re into John Williams soundtracks, rare pressings, or deep‑cut indie finds, the city delivers.  

Hit Amoeba Music in Hollywood — a cathedral of vinyl — or explore smaller shops like The Record Parlour, High Fidelity, or Freakbeat Records.  

It’s a great way to decompress between Celebration days, and you might even score a collectible to pair with your convention exclusives.

⭐ 4. Spend a Day at Disneyland

If you’re already in Southern California for Star Wars Celebration, Disneyland is practically a required pilgrimage.  

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Anaheim is the closest thing to stepping into the galaxy far, far away — fly the Millennium Falcon, build a lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop, sip blue milk, and wander Batuu like a true traveler.  

Plus, the rest of Disneyland and California Adventure offer classic rides, nighttime spectaculars, and nostalgia that pairs perfectly with Celebration hype.

⭐ 5. Enjoy the L.A. Live Complex

Right next to the Los Angeles Convention Center, L.A. Live is your go‑to hub for food, entertainment, and nightlife during the event.  

Grab dinner between panels, catch a movie at Regal Cinemas, explore the Grammy Museum, or unwind with drinks after a long day of queuing and merch hunting.  

It’s convenient, lively, and buzzing with fellow fans — the unofficial after‑hours extension of Celebration.

🐾 What Would Tomo the Shiba Inu Choose?

Tomo, Geeky Global Treks’ adventurous Shiba Inu mascot, would absolutely choose Disneyland — specifically Galaxy’s Edge.  

Why? Because Tomo lives for immersive worlds, photo ops, and attention from excited fans. You’d find him posing in front of the Millennium Falcon, sniffing around Droid Depot, and begging for a taste of blue milk.  

And let’s be honest… a Shiba Inu on Batuu? Instant social‑media gold.
