Music enthusiasts have several exciting events to look forward to.

Sports fans won't be disappointed either. The Honda Battle of the Bands is taking over SoFi Stadium this February, showcasing elite marching bands from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in a spectacle that promises to be far more energetic than your average concert. If you're in town on February 9th, catch the Super Bowl 2025 watch parties at various local hotspots, such as The Hudson, for great food, drinks, and the excitement of watching Kendrick Lamar perform at the half-time show.

Art lovers have a plethora of options to explore. The L.A.

The Felix Art Fair, held at The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel from February 19-23, features an international roster of 60+ galleries. For a more unique art experience, visit the Balloon Museum, which brings the world's most surreal inflatable art movement to LA, allowing you to wander through a dream-like wonderland of massive, floating installations.

Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy several activities. The South Coast Botanic Garden is celebrating the Lunar New Year every weekend in February with lion dancers, folk dancers, and drummers, offering a cultural and natural experience. For a more adventurous outing, consider the Hollywood Sign Express Walking Tour from Bikes and Hikes LA Tours, a 90-minute flat walk that provides stunning views of the iconic sign.
