Well, our events calendar sure looks different this month. But we’re not here to spread doom and gloom—no, instead, we want to help keep you safe at home with our Time In picks. We’re collecting some of our favorite virtual events, streaming picks and activities you can do from home in our calendars. We know that staying home can’t beat the things we’d normally be doing this time of year, like chasing wildflower blooms, embarking on one of the best hikes or relxing on L.A.’s best beaches. But make no mistake: there’s still some fun to be had in April and beyond in our Los Angeles events calendar for the rest of 2020.
