April 2024: This month, we’ve added a week of celeb-filled TV show panels and the return of the ren faire. We’ve also refreshed our wildflower info and added in some more outdoor screening series. If you hurry, you might still catch a glimpse of Space Shuttle Endeavour in its ready-to-launch position from just outside of the California Science Center and 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 Wayfarer’s Chapel, which has shuttered for now due to land movement in the area.
