LOS ANGELES — Mayor-elect Karen Bass will hold a public inauguration on Dec. 11 outside Los Angeles City Hall, one day before she officially takes office as the first woman elected to serve in the city's top job, her campaign said Thursday.
Bass' midday ceremony will take place on the Spring Street steps of City Hall facing Grand Park and will include musical and cultural performances. Bass spokesperson Zach Seidl declined to provide specifics about those performances. Bass will also speak about her plans for the city during the Sunday ceremony.
The event is ceremonial; Bass' official swearing-in will take place before the city clerk in a non-public setting.
