One of L.A.’s best free live-music offerings, Jazz at LACMA has featured legit legends over its three-decade run at the museum. Seating for the program is available in the museum’s plaza on a first-come, first-served basis, though you’re welcome to picnic on the grass, too (you won’t really be able to see the show, but you’ll still hear it). You’ll find the series on Friday evenings in LACMA’s welcome plaza (just behind Urban Light) throughout the summer.
Memorial Day weekend? Must mean summer. Even in a place that’s blessed with perpetually pleasant weather, the long weekend seems to signal a change of seasons with the sudden onset of even more outdoor movies and concerts. Whether you’re looking to spend some time on the beach, at a music festival, at a fun fair or even indoors at a new museum exhibiton, you’ll find plenty to do during the three-day weekend with these Memorial Day events in Los Angeles.
