Summer Is Just Getting Started In West Hollywood With The Summer On Sunset Celebration | Through September 3, 2018

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., July 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Summer on Sunset celebration—a partnership between West Hollywood Travel + Tourism Board and The City of West Hollywood as well as local businesses on the Sunset Strip—features an exciting series of events and special offers through September 3, 2018. This year's theme—"A Tribute to the Summer of Love"—celebrates the Strip's past as a major gathering place for the counterculture movement of the 1960's. Summer on Sunset reignites that cultural movement, one celebrating the influence of pop culture through music, dining, and entertainment on the Strip.

The activists, innovators, and creatives of today may experience the Strip by booking a hotel reservation now through September 3, 2018 via the West Hollywood Travel + Tourism Board's website (reservations.visitwesthollywood.com) for a $100 hotel credit towards a two-night stay at all 17 of the city's hotels as well as an exclusive Summer on Sunset VIP card valued at $200.

"Over fifty years after the 'Summer of Love,' we look back at this influential time and are inspired by a socio-cultural," says Tom Kiely, President & CEO of West Hollywood Travel + Tourism Board. "West Hollywood has always been a creative and progressive city that embodies the quintessential L.A. lifestyle. As the Sunset Strip continues to blaze its own path as a world-famous cultural landmark, setting trends in music, hospitality, dining, and design, we invite those from near and far to fall in love with the Strip's rebellious, forward-thinking spirit."

Summer on Sunset pays homage to the indulgent past of the city's iconic entertainment venues—Whisky a Go Go, The Roxy and The Troubadour—which rose to notoriety by hosting acts like Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Elton John, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix.
