We curate an L.A. weekend itinerary of the city's best concerts, culture and cuisine, every week, just for you.
Friday
Start your weekend in Griffith Park for the latest edition of Odd Nights, a night market at the Autry packed with everything imaginable—beer gardens, live music, bounce castles, more than 200 artisan vendors—and then some (i.e. horse parking, yes, horse parking).
Transport yourself to a remote beach, a Japanese concert hall and the inside of Björk's mouth as Björk Digital, the Icelandic singer's ambitious virtual reality project, opens its two-week run at the Reef.
Take your pick between a pair of comedy shows on Friday night. Stop by NerdMelt for another installment of Andy Kindler's Particular Show, with sets from Howard Kremer, Moshe Kasher, Reggie Watts and the frustrated, self-defeated Kindler himself.
Ride into the danger zone at the Regent Theater during Tom Gun Live: A Maverick's Homage. This spoof of Top Gun comes from the same guys who put together the raucously over-the-top Point Break Live, complete with a post-show '80s dance party.
Saturday
Attend talks from top chefs and preview plates from spots like Eataly, Chi Spacca and Salazar at EEEEEATSCON, the inaugural food fest from the Infatuation at Barker Hangar.
Swing by a homegrown celebration of comic books at East L.A. Comic-Con, a free pop-culture gathering at El Gallo Plaza.
See music return to L.A. State Historic Park during Skyline, a one-day music fest with sets from Miike Snow, Duke Dumont, Lido and more, plus art installations and sweet and savory treats.
Stake out a spot for an outdoor screening of The Grand Budapest Hotel as Eat|See|Hear brings the flick—along with food and tunes—to Santa Monica High School.
Sunday
Roam around six immersive installations, strewn with wooden contraptions and neon signs, during the final day of Jason Rhoades: Installations, 1994-2006 at Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles.
Explore the history of early Los Angeles life during Museums of the Arroyo Day. Brush up on early L.A. architecture and see some historic relics with free admission to six museums, including the Gamble House, Heritage Square and the Lummis Home.
Embrace your inner bookworm at LitFest Pasadena. This series of readings and performances takes over the pedestrian-friendly plazas and alleys of the Playhouse District, particularly at local bookstore Vroman's.
Travel back to 1987 as U2 performs the landmark album The Joshua Tree in full at the Rose Bowl.
