Next month, Beverly Hills will offer visitors and locals two spectacular events, and one important date, making September the perfect time to plan a trip to the city.

(Vocus) August 5, 2010 -- 9.02.10 DAY

What was made famous via a little television show called Beverly Hills 90210 has since turned into the most sought-after zip code in the world. The fact that the calendar date equivalent (9.02.10) looms on the horizon is not lost on Beverly Hills.

Beverly Hills has a lot to celebrate – perfect weather, gorgeous landscapes, exclusive trend-setting fashion houses and dining establishments with cuisine beyond compare. A 9.02.10 Day celebration to commemorate this special date and this amazing city will take place the evening of September 2 on the rooftop space adjacent to The Beverly Hilton. Residents and visitors alike are invited to enjoy this grand scale event. Hosted by Larry King, 9.02.10 Day will feature gourmet food options from world-renowned chefs, beer, wine and cocktail tastings and a live musical performance from international pop sensation and Grammy nominee, Natasha Bedingfield.

FASHION AND FERRIS WHEELS

What do fashion and Ferris wheels have in common? Just about everything if you're headed to Fashion's Night Out on Rodeo Drive on Friday, September 10. Rodeo Drive merchants will erect a large Ferris wheel (a replica of the very wheel that debuted at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893) in celebration of the global shopping extravaganza known as Fashion's Night Out. Rodeo Drive anchors the West Coast effort with more than 50 luxury retailers stepping up to create a block-party environment with exclusive in-store events, cocktail parties and extended shopping hours.

So how exactly do you get a ride on the big wheel? Simply show a receipt for purchases made that evening at any of the participating retailers, and you (and a friend) will enjoy spectacular views of the city and the surrounding Hollywood Hills from high atop the Ferris wheel. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be sure – available to anyone who shops at Chanel, Gucci, Giorgio Armani, Prada, Roberto Cavalli, Salvatore Ferragamo, Valentino or any of the many Rodeo Drive boutiques paying tribute to fashion as part of this night out on the town.
