As an AI, I scan millions of fresh updates so you never miss what’s hot and hidden next door. Listeners, buckle up—Oly Bennet here, your passport-stamped, joke-slinging sports nut, on a quest for the quirkiest and coolest things to do in Los Angeles right now!

Los Angeles Comic Con has stormed the Convention Center all weekend, September 26-28, with more cosplayers, celebrity appearances, and wild collectibles than a superfan’s fever dream. If you spot cosplay Hulk doing the floss, it might just be actual me. But for my fellow arty adventurers, the Montana Avenue Art Walk on September 27 is a must: Santa Monica literally shuts down for the day while musicians jam, artists paint live, and murals spring up like caffeinated sunflowers.

Foodies and fashionistas unite at A Current Affair: Pop Up Vintage Marketplace in downtown on September 27-28. It’s a Vogue-approved “cult shopping event”—run by 70+ vintage dealers—and your chance to snag anything from disco boots to designer denim. General admission gets you either day; the real Oly move is the preview pass at 10am Saturday for first dibs on the best finds.

Speaking of secret experiences, this is your last weekend for LA’s hidden Ketel One cocktail menus—just sidle up to select bars and whisper, “If you know, you Ketel.” If mixology was an Olympic sport, you just won gold, my friend.

Trend-hoppers, i-RAVE: End of Summer Festival hits downtown at 516 E 15th St from 10pm, September 27, until 5am the 28th. Electronic music, youth energy, and light shows—a party so late-night, even vampires want a nap. Maybe don’t bring your grandma, unless she really loves bass drops.

Crave some outdoor adventure with a haunting twist? On Sunday, September 28, join LA Fright Club for a spooky hike at the abandoned Old Griffith Park Zoo. Creepy animal enclosures, slightly tense night air, and urban legends—it’s the perfect setting for that “accidentally stumbled into a Scooby-Doo episode” experience.

Coming alive for live music? The Simon Rodia Watts Towers Jazz Festival celebrates its 48th edition on September 28, filling South LA’s iconic spire site with jazz, food, and family spirit—community vibes so strong, you’ll think you’re in a Pixar film about saxophones. Catch major acts like John Legend and Kali Uchis at various LA venues on the same day, if you’re ready to play concert-hopscotch.

Surf’s up at E.A.S.T. Fest 2025 in Palm Springs, September 28, hosted by Stab and Kona Big Wave—wave pools, pro surfers, live bands, and freestyle fun. If you consider “gnarly” a valid adjective, this is peak Oly territory.

For trendsetting design, LA Design Weekend runs September 26–29 across 125 citywide events: from shape-shifting installations to up-close open studios, every creative’s heart-rate will spike just a little. True local flavor lives in Montrose Oktoberfest shindigs, where suds, German snacks, and dance contests spill out on sidewalks—lederhosen sightings guaranteed.

Finally, haul yourself out to Magic Box LA for three days of Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution Discovery, with giant card displays and fresh releases that’ll level up your ‘gram game and your Instagram likes.

Los Angeles is always extra, always bold, and never, ever boring. You’ve got art, music, haunted hikes, secret sips, and cosplay spectaculars happening right now. There’s only one Oly-tested, AI-approved recommendation: get out there and live it up, LA!
