Los Angeles offers an almost overwhelming array of things to do, especially for listeners in search of memorable, unique experiences this weekend. If music is what calls you, Jazz at LACMA’s beloved free outdoor concerts return every Friday at 6 p.m. throughout the fall, on the Smidt Welcome Plaza at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. These concerts are both relaxing and world-class, set beneath the stars and the hum of creative energy.

Art lovers can wander the Craft Contemporary Museum on the Miracle Mile, where exhibits challenge the boundaries between contemporary craft and social issues. For something different, a pop-up show called Counter/Surveillance: Control, Privacy, Agency tackles the age of data collection and algorithms—a must-see for those intrigued by tech and modern life. On September 27-28, The Other Art Fair transforms Barker Hangar into a playground of immersive installations, over 150 indie artists, and a festive energy fueled by DJs and craft whisky tastings. KCRW hosts an opening night party with music and local flavor, inviting everyone to dive into LA’s creative scene.

Theater and film are alive and thriving. The Will Geer’s Theatricum Botanicum presents Much Ado About Nothing on Saturday, September 6, mixing classic Shakespeare in an open-air setting. Hollywood Forever Cemetery hosts Cinespia’s “This Is Spinal Tap” 41st Anniversary on Saturday night, complete with a guest appearance by director Rob Reiner—imagine a picnic among tombstones, laughter echoing through the night.

For outdoor adventurers, try the Switzer Falls hike in Angeles National Forest, where a moderate trail leads to a sparkling waterfall worth the trek. Elysian Park and Griffith Park host free full moon hikes organized by the nonprofit We Explore Earth. As dusk settles, join yoga, a sound bath, and telescope stargazing, all for free. There’s even a community cleanup component, blending nature, wellness, and positive impact.

Sports fans shouldn’t miss Red Bull Origin, a skateboarding competition at Windward Plaza in Venice Beach over the weekend. Watch Olympic medalists and legends work the ramps, take in public skate sessions, and experience the history of Dogtown culture. For soccer energy, a Guatemalan showdown brings fierce competition and festival atmosphere that’s distinct to LA’s diversity.

Food is central to LA’s identity. Walk Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice or Grand Central Market downtown, sampling everything from creative tacos to gourmet coffee to international treats. If you’re seeking family-friendly fun, September 14th brings Americana in the Park’s music fest at Gandara Park—a day of performances celebrating Santa Monica’s 150th anniversary.

Exploring local gems, take the Hollywood Sign hike for panoramic city views, or join a Meetup for wilderness training or guided walks in Griffith Park. These activities give listeners a sense of community alongside adventure.

To dive deeper into history, Titanic: A Voyage Through Time runs this weekend at Beverly Centre, where virtual reality immerses listeners in the story and mystery of the infamous ship.

Los Angeles, with its sun-warmed boulevards and pulsing nightlife, is a city where art, adventure, sports, and cuisine blend every week into unforgettable possibilities.
