Welcome to Things to Do in Los Angeles! Ollie Bennet here, your jet-lagged, joke-cracking sports fanatic ready to guide you through LA’s quirkiest events and epic adventures. Today is Sunday, November 2, 2025, and Los Angeles is buzzing like a caffeine-fueled hummingbird. Sunshine is making the city glow—classic LA, with just the right breeze to keep your hair epic for all those celebrity selfies you’ll probably photobomb today.

Here’s a taste of today’s LA lineup. The city is shaking with excitement as the Los Angeles Rams face off against the New Orleans Saints at SoFi Stadium! Football fans, pack your foam fingers and get loud—expect flying touchdowns, questionable referee calls, and snacks that defy normal cholesterol levels. If hoops are more your style, Miami Heat battles the Lakers tonight at Crypto.com Arena at 6:30pm, so get ready for slam dunks and celebrity sightings. For the culture vultures, catch Valley Opera and Performing Arts’ Grease live at the El Portal Theatre tonight at 7:30pm—sing-alongs are highly encouraged, questionable dance moves welcome, leather jackets optional but admired.

Families, budding artists, and creative daydreamers, Hammer Museum is hosting 826LA’s “Writing About Art (& Finding It Everywhere!)” at 11am—a chance to sprinkle literary magic onto your Sunday, or at least doodle dramatic stick figures. Meanwhile, bookworms can swing by Vroman’s Bookstore for “Rings of Dissent: Boxing and Performances of Rebellion” if you like your literature with a little left hook.

And if you didn’t get enough sugar skulls and marigolds yesterday, LA is still glowing from Día de los Muertos! Forest Lawn’s free family-friendly festival runs from noon to 3pm across multiple cemeteries, celebrating ancestors with altars, crafts, and live music. Bring your face paint—you’ll fit right in.

Switching gears to local buzz: Did you hear LA’s food scene is popping off faster than a popcorn machine at a Dodgers game? Neighborhoods from Silver Lake to Koreatown are welcoming new eateries—rumor has it, today marks the soft opening of a vegan sushi spot downtown, so if fish-free nigiri is your jam, go scout it out. For folks riding Metro—keep an eye out for service delays on the Red Line due to a scheduled upgrade. Those Hollywood turns can get wild, but today’s Uber drivers are reportedly extra chatty thanks to yesterday’s Halloween stories.

Now for must-do activities: Don’t leave LA without catching a vista from Griffith Observatory—clear skies mean you’ll see everything from the Hollywood Sign to the tiny people stuck on the 405. Sneak off to Echo Park for paddle boating and secret taco trucks, or catch impromptu drum circles at Venice Beach—where juggling flaming sticks is apparently a thing, and failing is half the fun. If you’re a film junkie, book a last-minute seat at a classic movie screening at the New Beverly Cinema—tonight’s flick is a mystery, but popcorn is guaranteed.

Here’s a nugget to help listeners live like a local: If you ask for “Iced coffee, extra strong, no fuss” at a corner café in East LA, you’ll probably get a side of local gossip, a knowing wink, and a coffee so potent you’ll feel ready to run the LA Marathon… twice.

Don’t miss tomorrow’s madness! The Dodgers’ World Series Parade drops downtown at 11am, promising confetti, marching bands, and more blue hats than a Smurf convention. Tune in to hear why LA marches like nowhere else—and how you can join the fun.
