LA's Sizzling Fall Vibes: Churros, Bats, and Blockbuster Festivals
Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Los Angeles! It's Thursday, November 6th, 2025, and Oly Bennet reporting for epic adventure duty. Today LA is strutting into fall with its signature swagger—sunshine working overtime, barely a cloud in sight, and that crisp, golden glow making Hollywood Blvd look like the backdrop for a movie about palm trees joining the Witness Protection Program. Temperatures are sitting pretty in the mid-70s, so get ready to bask and play.
Before you ask, what’s the city’s vibe today? Let’s call it high voltage with a generous splash of cultural confetti. Calendars are bursting, street tacos are being devoured at unnatural speeds, and everyone from North Hollywood to Venice is plotting their next iconic Instagram moment. And if you’re dodging traffic on the 405, remember: you’re not stuck in a jam—you’re just getting more quality time to review your LA bucket list.
Alright, let’s hit the highlights! Film fans, the 15th GuadaLAjara Film Festival has taken over the city starting today through November 8, spotlighting Latinx and BIPOC cinema. The festival opens with Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein—talk about monster hits! Screenings are popping up everywhere from the United Theater on Broadway to the acclaimed Alamo Drafthouse in DTLA. Bonus: all ticket proceeds support Latino justice through Public Counsel.
If the way to your heart is through your stomach, imagine this: over 100 of LA’s best chefs and vintners descend on Santa Monica as the Los Angeles Wine & Food Festival serves up three days of flavor-bombing bliss starting tomorrow at Barker Hangar. Today, some early tasting events may still have last-minute tickets, so hustle over if your tastebuds are tingling. According to both the Santa Monica Mirror and Westside Today, this festival is a feast for the ages.
For the music heads, tonight is for you. Keep an ear out for some of the city’s best live gigs, from small venues to the big stages—check out LA’s live calendar for everything from Mannheim Steamroller performing at the Los Angeles Theater to house shows and indie pop-ups. Over in the Miracle Mile, the Craft Contemporary Museum is open late, offering hands-on art experiences and exhibits that make you question whether you should finally take that ceramics class.
Want a dash of luxury with your culture? The annual WIF Honors gala is lighting up the Beverly Hilton tonight, celebrating women in film and media. If you were lucky to snag an invite, shine up those shoes and get ready to rub elbows with Hollywood’s finest.
Switching gears to city updates, LA’s public transit is running smoothly today with Metro’s new mobile ticketing app now fully live (and loaded with discount codes for November). A handful of buzzworthy restaurants opened this week in Koreatown—look for late-night ramen spots and the hype for “Midnight Churro,” the dessert bar everyone’s already lining up for.
Now, if you’re hunting for must-do activities, you can’t go wrong people-watching at the Santa Monica Pier, skateboarding along Venice Beach, or taking a free architecture tour of Downtown. Secret tip from a world-class wanderer: skip the fancy coffee joints by the Walk of Fame and track down the roadside churro truck in Echo Park—the owner claims his churros are “as crispy as the Lakers’ 1980s shorts.”
And did you know LA is home to the world’s largest urban bat colony? Head to Griffith Park around sunset to witness these winged wonders take flight—it’s like a real-life Gotham, only with more veggie tacos and less brooding billionaires.
Before you sign off, get stoked for tomorrow: the Wine & Food Festival goes full throttle, and rumor has it a surprise mariachi flash mob might crash Union Station’s lunch hour. I’ll have the inside scoop, wilder stories, and more fearless fun next time.
