The Great Elephant Migration & Beverly Hills

Begin your day with a visit to the beloved Original Farmers Market in Los Angeles, where you'll enjoy lunch on your own amid a vibrant mix of culinary delights. From gourmet food stalls to local favorites, this historic market offers something to satisfy every palate in a lively, open-air setting.

Then comes the spectacular highlight: The Great Elephant Migration at Beverly Gardens Park. This breathtaking outdoor exhibition features 100 life-sized elephant sculptures, each handcrafted by over 200 Indigenous artisans from the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve in South India. Made from Lantana camara, an invasive plant species, each sculpture is modeled after a real wild elephant, blending artistic beauty with a powerful message of conservation and peaceful coexistence.

This traveling installation has captured hearts across the U.S., from Newport to New York City, Miami Beach, Houston, and Montana’s Blackfeet Nation. Now, the majestic herd reunites in Beverly Hills for its final U.S. appearance—a moving conclusion to their 3,500-mile journey. Each elephant is not only a work of art, but a story—of community, heritage, and the bond between humans and nature. Sculptures are twinned with conservation NGOs, meaning your visit supports real-world efforts to protect wildlife.

Finally, enjoy free time on the world-famous Rodeo Drive. Stroll past legendary designer boutiques, soak in the opulence and glamour of this iconic destination, and explore at your own pace. Whether you're window-shopping or visiting quirky gems like the Mr. Brainwash Museum, the atmosphere is quintessentially Beverly Hills.

This is more than an art installation; it’s a celebration of life, coexistence, and the natural world we all share.
