Los Angeles always delivers when it comes to entertainment and adventure, including this week’s events. For music fans, tonight features an epic triple bill: Modest Mouse and The Flaming Lips performing live at the Greek Theatre in Griffith Park, starting at 7 p.m. This legendary outdoor venue is known for remarkable acoustics and picturesque surroundings. If listeners want to keep the music vibe going, the GRAMMY Museum downtown offers “An Evening with Shaun Cassidy” tomorrow, September 5, at 7:30 p.m., blending pop culture nostalgia and exclusive conversation with a music icon. For movie lovers, “This Is Spinal Tap” screens outdoors at Hollywood Forever Cemetery on September 6 with live DJs and a themed photobooth—an unforgettable way to watch this comedic cult classic among the stars and literal gravestones.

If thrill and chills are more your style, Universal Studios Hollywood cranks up the adrenaline with Halloween Horror Nights, currently running and offering haunted houses, themed attractions, and a special soundtrack crafted by Slash, the legendary guitar maestro. According to Secret Los Angeles, this event turns the theme park into a horror haven, promising immersive fun whether listeners want to scream or just stroll through sinister sets.

For fans of immersive experiences, NOIR A Hollywood Thriller launches September 6 at Heritage Square Museum. Step into 1940s film noir, interact with mysterious characters, and wander evocative sets—each performance is distinct, perfect for those who crave a theatrical night out.

Art and culture seekers can’t miss Griffith Observatory. Its exhibits, planetarium shows, and dazzling views of the city and Hollywood Sign make it a must. This landmark is open until 10 p.m.; on September 18, the curatorial staff hosts “All Space Considered,” a free program about the latest in astronomy, while the monthly Public Star Party on September 27 lets visitors gaze through a lawn of telescopes. Locals and tourists alike recommend a hike through Griffith Park, which offers guided tours for stunning city vistas and Hollywood Sign photo ops.

For outdoor exploration off the beaten path, the Corral Canyon Loop Trail in Malibu is a hidden gem—off the Pacific Coast Highway, with a moderately challenging 2.4-mile hike showcasing wildflowers, ocean panoramas, and pristine wilderness. It starts at the Sara Wan Trailhead, a quick 30-mile drive from LAX, and promises unique Golden State landscapes. Malibu Creek State Park presents another option, offering easy hiking to the Rock Pool and the iconic *M*A*S*H* filming site, plus opportunities for bird watching, rock climbing, and even horseback riding. Movie buffs might recognize scenes from *Planet of the Apes* or the *M*A*S*H* TV show that were filmed right there.

Classic LA fun includes strolling the Hollywood Walk of Fame, snapping photos at TCL Chinese Theatres’ star-studded forecourt, and getting quirky at Madame Tussauds wax museum or Ripley’s Believe It or Not Odditorium, each located along Hollywood Boulevard. For those who enjoy shopping with celebrity sightings, Hollywood & Highland Center is packed with entertainment, dining, and people-watching opportunities.

Los Angeles’ food scene also entices—seek out underground speakeasies, trendy food trucks, or authentic taco stands bustling day and night throughout the city. West Hollywood’s Mind + Body Month runs all September with wellness pop-ups and fitness events, while Leisure Club’s “Recess” tennis and fashion extravaganza on September 6 at Montrose Beverly Hills offers a playful, stylish afternoon on the courts.
