With a growing number of major events held throughout the calendar year, it’s easy to lose track of the dates and locations. The 2018 LASEC Major Sports & Entertainment Events Calendar is designed to help you with planning for the future. It includes events happening in Los Angeles and also major out-of-town events (like the Super Bowl and the U.S. Open). For easy use, this calendar includes a list by name of the events we are tracking and is also sorted by month, so you can easily check to make sure you aren’t planning an event on a date that is already taken. We plan to update the calendar each year, so please do not hesitate to share feedback or make recommendations to help make this a more useful tool in the future. Founded in 1995, the Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission (LASEC) partners with the City of Los Angeles to bring major sporting and entertainment events to Los Angeles, like the NBA All-Star, the GRAMMY Awards, the College Football Playoff National Championship, the Super Bowl and many others. These events have a significant economic impact on the local economy and continue to spotlight Los Angeles as the Entertainment Capital of the World. LASEC is a nonprofit organization. The competition for attracting high-profile events is intense, so LASEC works to ensure that these events enjoy a positive experience and the full support of the City. We hope to see you at many of our great events in Los Angeles in 2018. Thank you for your support! Kathryn S.
