Looking for the best things to do in Los Angeles? We have you covered with the very best that L.A. has to offer. Whether you’re a culture vulture, outdoorsy type or simply a lover of our fine city, there’s more than enough here to keep you busy. Even lifelong Angelenos will find something new to add to their to-do list, between the city’s landmark attractions that are still accessible, an ever-changing inventory of the best restaurants in Los Angeles, essential L.A. museums and even some off-the-beaten path secrets. How many of the best things to do in Los Angeles will you try? March 2024: This month, we’ve added a day with free museum entry across SoCal, a food fest celebrating women-owned restaurants, some of the first music fests of the season and the return of First Fridays at the Natural History Museum. It’s also time to keep your eyes peeled for wildflowers and cherry blossoms; expect some more updates on both of those fronts mid-month. If you hurry, you might still catch a glimpse of Space Shuttle Endeavour in its ready-to-launch position from elsewhere in Exposition Park—but since it’s due to be covered in scaffolding soon, we’ve otherwise removed that from our list. We’ve also temporarily removed Rosie’s Dog Beach due to the canine respiratory illness currently circulating in the area, as well as Wayfarer’s Chapel, which has shuttered for now due to land movement in the area. You can also find out more about how Time Out selects the very best things to do all over th

Even if you never really vibed with Jimmy Buffett’s whole “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” and “Margaritaville” state of mind, you have to admit that the lineup for this tribute show at the Hollywood Bowl is akin to having a cheeseburger in Paradise. Paul McCartney, the Eagles, Jon Bon Jovi, Zac Brown, Jackson Browne, Brandi Carlile, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Sheryl Crow, Scotty Emerick, Jack Johnson, Caroline Jones, Mac McAnally, Jake Owen, Pitbull, Jake Shimabukuro and the Coral Reefer Band will all perform at the Hollywood Bowl on April 11 in honor of the late singer-songwriter.

As we move through winter and into spring, Southern California wildflowers are starting to arrive—and bringing a bit of super bloom anticipation along with them. If you embark on one of the best hikes in L.A. right now, you’ll likely find lots of green grasses but not many colorful flowers. Instead, you’ll need to embark on a day trip into the desert to see some standout flora—but even then, the most dazzling displays haven’t arrived quite yet. Since we were lucky enough to actually have a winter with some rain in Los Angeles, the signs do point to being able to see some standout Southern California wildflowers—but maybe not quite yet. What’s the latest bloom status? As of the beginning of March, only Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and, to a lesser extent, Chino Hill State Park have any noteworthy displays of wildflowers. And even at those two, we wouldn’t quite call either a “super bloom.” That said, California State Parks, which manages many of the most notable potential sites for wildflowers, says it anticipates an “impressive” bloom this spring in the desert (and will be regularly tracking the bloom status at its parks on this page). We’ve checked in on some of our favorite spots to see SoCal wildflowers and their current bloom status. We’ll update each location as soon as there’s some new bloom activity. It’s still always a good idea, though, to check with each individual park for the most up-to-the-minute info on any road closures or weather updates. We’ll also shout ou

The L.A. Marathon map looks a little bit like Waze’s rush hour directions—take the main drag for a bit, veer onto this side street, then loop back around. If you’re a runner, you probably know every inch of the course by now. But if you’re spectating, you’ll probably want to brush up on the L.A. Marathon 2024 route. The 26.2-mile race (held on March 17) is by far the biggest L.A. event in March—it crosses nearly the entire east-west span on the city, with stretches through Downtown L.A., Echo Park, Hollywood, West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. So make sure to study the route map below—and don’t forget to pay attention to L.A. Marathon road closures—and maybe find a few go-to L.A. attractions in case you need a bathroom break. RECOMMENDED: Full guide to L.A. Marathon 2024 Where does the L.A. Marathon route start? The starting line for the race begins by Dodger Stadium, in a secured area of the parking lot past the center field fence.  Where does the L.A. Marathon route end? The finish line for the L.A. Marathon is on Avenue of the Stars just below Santa Monica Boulevard, by the Westfield Century City. You’ll find a finish festival across the street in Century Park. Wait, didn’t the L.A. Marathon used to go all the way to the beach? Yep, that’s right, the old stadium-to-the-sea route used to wrap up right on Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica. But that changed in 2021 with the switch to the “Stadium to Stars” route; marathon organizers cited “dramatically increased costs quoted by the

Every year, thousands of L.A. Marathon runners train for the 26.2-mile race that winds through the city from Dodger Stadium to Century City (formerly Santa Monica—more on that in a minute). But the L.A. Marathon is way more than just the miles—it’s about knowing where to train, having a solid playlist of running songs and having the support of spectators and the city behind you. Whether you’re a runner or a spectator, here’s our guide to SoCal’s other parade (this one has way more Lycra than roses). When is the L.A. Marathon? This year’s edition will be held on Sunday, March 17, 2024. Where does the L.A. Marathon start and end? What does the route look like? Runners start near Dodger Stadium and head down Sunset Boulevard to do a loop through Downtown L.A., back toward Echo Park and then once again onto Sunset, this time heading west. The route follows a combination of Hollywood, Sunset and Santa Monica before veering onto San Vicente in Westwood and then circling back to Century City.

Got a list of L.A. museums you haven’t visited yet? Clear your calendar for Museums Free-For-All, when museums all over the region throw open the doors for free admission. Over 30 museums will drop their admission fees on Saturday, March 23. It’s the perfect opportunity to knock a couple of cultural to-dos off your list, like the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, LACMA, Japanese American National Museum, GRAMMY Museum, the La Brea Tar Pits, the Skirball and more. You’ll still have to pay to see any exhibitions that require a special ticket and for parking, but we can’t say no to free admission. Make sure to scope out the full list of participating museums. (We’d suggest skipping any of L.A.’s always-free museums, as you can visit those admission-free on any other weekend.)
