Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Los Angeles! It's Friday, November 7, 2025, and you better buckle up, because LA is beaming with all the energy of a champion sprinter shot out of a confetti cannon. Today, the sun is shining, skies are clear, and there’s that all-too-familiar buzz on the streets—everyone’s got plans, shades, and no one’s in a hurry to find their coat.

First up, let’s catch the vibe out there. Los Angeles is rolling into the weekend like a movie star on a hot streak, and the calendar is stacked. Art lovers, sprint—don’t walk—to the FREE ART POP UP in Filled.LA, open from noon to 7 PM, offering a smorgasbord of art installations and vibe-checks galore. Prepare your eyeballs, and take a selfie next to something abstract while pretending you deeply “feel its artistic struggle”—bonus points if your friends actually believe you according to Eventbrite.

Tonight, things get a little spicy with the Red Velvet Burlesque Show at 6 PM, delivering high-octane, cheeky performances for those who love their nightlife extra zingy. Comedy, dance, and a touch of risqué—if you can handle that much sizzle on a Friday.

If you’re after family-friendly fun, check out the 14th Annual San Pedro Film Festival running today. It’s perfect for cinephiles and popcorn aficionados alike, promising everything from indie flicks to spectacular shorts. SanPedroCalendar.com promises surprises you won’t find on Netflix.

For a taste of culture and social good, the We Grow LA Grocery Giveaway wraps up today at Planet Fitness on West Slauson Avenue. This community event is all about giving back and, let’s be honest, where else can you pick up free groceries and possibly see someone dressed as a banana?

If music is your lifeblood, keep your eyes peeled for Mannheim Steamroller and Vienna Boys Choir taking over stages this November. As for today, several local venues pulse with the sounds of up-and-coming bands and unique performances—the city’s music scene never disappoints according to Los Angeles Theatre.

Now for the buzz: LA’s food scene just leveled up with the opening of Sazón Urbano downtown—a street-food-inspired hotspot serving up wild tacos and churros dusted in edible gold. Try it before the Instagram crowd eats everything! Metro users, rejoice. After a week of repairs, the Red Line is back at full capacity, so getting downtown is a breeze today.

Looking for must-do classics? Don’t miss the Norton Simon Museum, which has free admission to celebrate its 50th anniversary this weekend. Or take a late stroll down the Venice Boardwalk—there are always sunset drum circles and at least one person performing gravity-defying jump rope tricks.

Here’s a local tip you won’t get from your standard tourist guide: LA’s hidden staircases, like the Baxter Steps in Echo Park, are a secret way to soak up the city’s views and skip traffic like a savvy Angeleno.

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s lineup—there’s a new art show opening at Hollywood Forever, the Feast of Resistance for Native American Heritage Month, and more film festival madness.
