Welcome, listeners, to Things to do in Los Angeles—your daily passport to adventure, oddities, and unforgettable experiences in the City of Angels! I'm Oly Bennet, your zany globe-trotter, and today is Saturday, November 15, 2025. The sun is out, the ocean breeze is feeling generous, and LA is beaming its signature how-weird-can-you-get energy across the boulevards. With a mellow SoCal autumn—think highs in the mid-70s and a sky so blue you’d think it was painted on—the city is buzzing with options for every tribe, taste, and thrill-seeker out there.

Let’s kick things right into turbo: if you’re a music maven, tonight’s Reggaeton Rave at Exchange LA is going to set your weekend on literal fire with a late-night, beat-pumping Latin dance party—open to the 21+ crowd and guaranteed to make your feet forget how to stop moving! For a different kind of jam, Maná returns for another of their high-octane shows at the Kia Forum, bringing epic rock en español vibes. The Belasco is hosting Built to Spill, indie rock heroes on their West Coast tour—bring your best flannel and existential angst.

But wait, let’s party with the whole family! The Autumn Festival is in full swing at the Aquarium of the Pacific, celebrating Asian cultures and aquatic wonders all in one splashy event. Foodies, there’s the Japanese Food Expo running today—yes, you can sample ramen, sushi, and sake without even needing a plane ticket to Tokyo, all under the same LA roof. Film buffs and soulmates can pay tribute to the late Diane Keaton with a special screening of The First Wives Club at the historic Palace Theatre downtown, complete with BFF portrait studio, bar, and DJ.

Need a change of pace? Mindfulness seekers can stop by the Hammer Museum for a free drop-in meditation session—shake off the city’s static and recharge your zen for the week ahead. Or, pop into the Blue Note Jazz Club, newly opened in Hollywood, serving up live music, craft cocktails, and a side of jazz history.

In today’s city buzz: a wave of new restaurant openings is tickling taste buds across town. According to Secret Los Angeles, downtown’s getting a new vegan comfort food spot, and West Hollywood’s latest rooftop cocktail bar is already drawing crowds. On the move? LA Metro has tweaked its D Line schedule starting this week to roll out more frequent service on weekends—download the Metro app or check their updates for the latest.

Want a true Oly Bennet tip? Ditch the car. Try one of LA’s new e-scooters or bikeshares to zip through neighborhoods—Hollywood to Echo Park—with wind in your hair and not a single parking ticket in sight. Oh, and did you know? The Hollywood sign originally read “Hollywoodland” and was a real estate ad in 1923—proof this city’s always been a little extra.

For tomorrow: get ready for the Renaissance Faire at Angel City Brewery, costumed family fun and medieval games in the heart of the Arts District, plus Sabrina Carpenter’s tour launches at Crypto.com Arena. Stick around for next episode as we dive into LA’s wackiest Thanksgiving events and the best places to spot local celebrities getting their pumpkin spice on.
