"Discover LA's Thriving Event Scene: Anime, Sports, Comedy, and More This Week"
Listeners looking for unforgettable experiences in Los Angeles this week are in for a treat. Start by diving into the city’s thriving event calendar: Anime Expo 2025 is one of the nation’s largest fan conventions, running at the LA Convention Center through today, where anime, cosplay, and pop culture collide with panels, meet-and-greets, and exclusive screenings. Just next door, L.A. LIVE is buzzing this week with activities from the ongoing Crypto.com Arena VIP Tours—they run several times throughout the week, offering behind-the-scenes access to one of the world’s premier sports and concert venues.
Catch high-energy sports action by scoring tickets to see the Los Angeles Sparks play against the Minnesota Lynx on July 10 at Crypto.com Arena, or enjoy the light-hearted side of LA at the Belly Laughs Festival July 12-13, where comedy fans can indulge in stand-up and culinary treats in one setting, according to L.A. LIVE’s event listings. For something unique, A Midsummer Night’s Rosé at Fleming’s on July 11 brings together fine wine and gourmet food under the summer sky.
The music scene here is legendary, and this week’s highlights include John Fogerty performing at the Hollywood Bowl today. Paul Simon is set to take stage at the Terrace Theater in Long Beach on July 8, and Kesha and Scissor Sisters are playing the Kia Forum. For a more intimate vibe, the Troubadour in West Hollywood hosts up-and-coming acts like Low Cut Connie this week, as curated by Songkick’s LA concert guide.
Art and culture aficionados should not miss LACMA’s free Latin Sounds concert series at Hancock Park, which this Saturday, July 12, features Katalyst and their fusion of experimental jazz, as detailed by We Like L.A. During the evening, the iconic Barnsdall Friday Night Wine Tastings return to Barnsdall Park. Enjoy boutique wines, sweeping sunset views, and the option to tour Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House—a distinct marriage of art, architecture, and socializing highlighted by Time Out Los Angeles.
For outdoor explorers, Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area offers rugged trails with sweeping city views, picnic spots, and a lotus pond, just minutes from central LA. The LA Hiking Group’s weekly meetups are a friendly way to experience local trails, with hikes that promise skyline views from Griffith Park, the Pacific Ocean, and maybe even the Griffith Observatory. Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area, as outlined by California State Parks, offers everything from walking trails to active recreation fields and serene picnic areas—ideal for a scenic afternoon escape.
Hidden gems abound, like Manhattan Beach’s historic Bruce’s Beach Park, which is perfect for relaxing and people-watching, while nearby you can rent a cruiser bike to follow The Strand, a lively beachside path stretching from Santa Monica to Hermosa Beach. Those seeking relaxation can explore Manhattan Beach’s spas and boutique galleries, as recommended by Expedia’s Manhattan Beach travel guide.
Classic attractions remain must-sees. Universal Studios Hollywood entertains with its mix of rides and studio tours, while the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Griffith Observatory, and the Getty Center are as captivating as ever—the latter immerses visitors in world-class art and panoramic hilltop views. For a star-studded excursion, several popular Hollywood and Beverly Hills bus tours promise glimpses of famous homes, Mulholland Drive’s overlooks, and, of course, the legendary Hollywood Sign, as many Tripadvisor reviewers rave about.
Food lovers should sample cuisine in Little Tokyo, where authentic ramen and Japanese pastries await, or hop between LA’s famous rooftop bars and farmers markets for local flavors. For a twist, Street Food Cinema combines movie screenings with gourmet food trucks at The Autry Museum, making for a fun evening under the stars.
This week, listeners can also discover the LA River’s revitalized stretches, kayak through Echo Park Lake, or wander the Venice Canals for postcard-perfect strolls. For a taste of LA’s vibrant creativity, catch a live show in the NoHo Arts District or hunt for local art in Culver City’s galleries. Whether drawn to grand spectacles or seeking out-of-the-way adventures, Los Angeles this week offers countless ways for every traveler to experience something new, dazzling, or quintessentially Californian.
