The iconic Hollywood Sign celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2023.
On Dec. 8, 1923, the 45-foot-high illuminated sign debuted, originally reading “Hollywoodland” as an advertisement for an upscale real estate subdivision. Since then, the sign became a treasured symbol of Los Angeles and Hollywood history. In late 2022, the nonprofit Hollywood Sign Trust partnered with Sherwin Williams on an extensive refurbishment ahead of the centennial celebrations.

Los Angeles Tourism honors the special occasion with a variety of special events throughout the year, including live tapings and studio tours. Warner Bros. and The Walt Disney Company also celebrate 100 years in 2023.
