Speaking of what's on hand, you can also expect some swag from athletics company Outdoor Voices. It's all part of a collab series between OLIPOP and Grand Central Market, capping off a week of diversity- and wellness-focused events in and around the historic space. Just remember: Admission is free, but to get moving (and breathing and meditating), you need to R.S.V.P.

Why settle for one margarita when you could surround yourself with unlimited margaritas?

Sip on margaritas ranging from traditional to totally wild from the likes of El Condor, La Guelaguetza, Everson Royce Bar, Petty Cash, La Cuevita, HomeState, El Carmen and more, then cast your vote for the best take. If all that tequila works up an appetite, Triple Beam Pizza, Moo's Craft Barbecue and HomeState will be slinging à la carte eats. Tickets begin at $20, which gets you 5pm entry and one eight-ounce margarita; the $40 ticket gets you three margaritas and 5pm entry; and the $55 ticket lands you five margaritas and 5pm entry. Want to splurge on those sips? There's a $75 VIP ticket, which lets you in on the 4pm "happy hour" featuring unlimited tastings, plus gets you three full margaritas, access to the VIP lounge and a VIP swag bag—of course if you really want to go big, the $95 VIP ticket includes all of this, plus food tickets. If the words "unlimited margaritas" don't do it for you, just know that a portion of all tickets to the Margarita Showdown benefit PATH, a global nonprofit that fights to end homelessness—because the only thing better than a summer

KCRW Summer Nights
Everyone’s favorite NPR affiliate has a hand in over a half-dozen summer concert slates at locations like One Colorado, the Hammer Museum and KCRW’s new Santa Monica headquarters. But the party-till-midnight bashes at Chinatown Central Plaza have become a particular favorite. Familiar KCRW personalities like Garth Trinidad, Travis Holcombe, Anne Litt and Jason Bentley spin the tunes at these food truck-fueled block parties. Regardless of the location—including the oceanfront offshoot, Twilight on the Pier—you really can’t go wrong with any evening spent at Summer Nights.
KCRW's Night Market at The Bungalow
Summer's just heating up, but thanks to a new nightlife partnership it's set to be scorching: Santa Monica mainstay the Bungalow teamed up with beloved radio station KCRW to throw a night market every Thursday just a block from the beach. KCRW's no stranger to killer programming and putting on a great party (see also: Chinatown Summer Nights), and now, every week at the Bungalow you can expect KCRW DJ sets, plus to-be-announced live performances that take over the Fairmont Miramar scene. Once all that dancing's worked up an appetite, you can hit the food trucks and take a seat at one of the picnic tables spread throughout the space (or, you know, just camp out at a picnic table all night long—we wouldn't blame you if you're just here for the food). What's more, this event is family-friendly and free to enter for all ages. The fun runs every Thursday into fall, from 5 to 10pm.

Hugh Jackman
The Greatest Showman—a flick we called “frustratingly slight”—has quickly and surprisingly become a sing-along screening staple. You can almost surely chalk up its cult-status–like adoption to one person: Hugh Jackman. It’s no surprise, then, that the charismatic actor is taking his tome of tunes on the road. “Hugh Jackman: The Man. The Music. The Show.” will bring the musically-inclined actor to the Hollywood Bowl, where he’ll sing highlights from The Greatest Showman and Les Misérables, along with a selection of other Broadway and film songs—all accompanied by a live orchestra.

Attendees are encouraged to sing along, dance in the aisles and gather at the foot of the stage to celebrate with the performers. The concert is free, but parking is $15.
Smorgasburg LA
Indulge your inner foodie and shopaholic at this weekly food-focused market. The Brooklyn export has landed in the Arts District and become a hotbed of fantastic food and retail vendors, with some that are testing out their dishes before launching a full-blown brick-and-mortar in the city. Bonus: there is plentiful (and free, for two hours!) parking in the nearby parking garage.
A24 Public Access
Well here’s the oddest addition to this summer’s slate of outdoor movie screenings: a contemporary crime flick projected onto a billboard in the Valley. Lauded indie studio A24 is hosting a series of free “Public Access” screenings around the country, with some of its most celebrated films projected onto billboards. Here in L.A., you’ll be able to watch The Bling Ring projected above a liquor store at the corner of Sepulveda Boulevard and Sepulveda Place, right next to Dr. Hogly Wogly’s Tyler Texas BBQ. The Van Nuys screening takes place in front of Triangle Liquors on Saturday, July 27 at 8pm. You can scope out the spot in this slideshow of photos tweeted by A24: A big screen experience. #a24PublicAccess starts 7/20 with Lady Bird in Downtown Sac. pic.twitter.com/jW8m8aZrqu — A24 (@A24) July 10, 2019 Sofia Coppola’s 2013 flick, starring Emma Watson, follows the real-life teen thieves who raided the Hollywood homes of Paris Hilton, Megan Fox and more. Other films (screened outside of L.A.) in the series include Lady Bird, The Witch, Good Time, The Spectacular Now and Moonlight.
Level 8 Drive-In
The parking garage at the Grove has some surprisingly spectacular city views from its top level, which makes it the perfect spot for this new pop-up drive-in movie theater. On the last Wednesday of the month all summer long, the shopping center is hosting free screenings with designated spaces for cars, as well as plush lounge seats if you decide to Uber over there instead. In addition to complimentary popcorn and soda, you’ll find a famous movie car at each event (think the “Greased Lightning” convertible for Grease and the DeLorean for Back to the Future) thanks to a partnership with the Petersen Automotive Museum and O’Gara Coach. Reservations are already all booked for the first screening, so be sure to step on it for the others.
Eat|See|Hear
Eat|See|Hear travels to different locales throughout the city each Saturday during the summer, showing cult flicks on an inflatable screen taller than your average Malibu mansion. Bring your own bites or sample snacks from the impressive roster of resident food trucks and show up early for a set from local L.A. bands. Parking is free at most of the venues, and tickets for screenings at the Autry even include admission to the museum. What’s more? If you want to skip the crowds and stroll in casually during the opening credits, spring for an exclusive “Fashionably Late” pass, which guarantees you a reserved seat in front. All of the events dog-friendly, and a portion of ticket sales benefit Best Friends Animal Society.
Cinespia Cemetery Screenings
It isn’t summer in L.A. until the first cemetery screening brings hoards of movie-lovers to Hollywood Forever, toting folding chairs, picnic blankets, snack spreads and lots of booze. Each year, Cinespia brings classic cult favorites to the hallowed resting place of such Hollywood greats as Rudolph Valentino and Bugsy Siegel. The series typically releases its slate one month at a time, most recently for August: Point Break (Aug 3), Boyz n the Hood featuring a John Singleton tribute from Questlove and DJ Pooh (Aug 10) and Psycho (Aug 24). Of particular note: the 9th Annual Slumber Party on August 24, with a trio of sleepover staples including Never Been Kissed, I Know What You Did Last Summer and Jawbreaker. Angelenos line up for hours to partake in the concept—and to enjoy DJ sets, dance parties, sleepovers and more magical mischief otherwise strictly forbidden behind the cemetery gates. It’s an L.A. rite of passage, a quintessential summer experience and one of the best film venues in the city. Just be sure to get your ticket early, arrive early (doors open at 6:45pm), pee early… it’s getting a bit overcrowded, to say the least.

‘Once Upon a Time In Hollywood’ screenings
We Angelenos have some pretty incredible privileges on account of living in the center of the movie-making universe, and we’d say this one currently ranks pretty high: Director Quentin Tarantino is screening his personal 35mm print of his upcoming ninth feature, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, at his very own movie theater, the New Beverly. The theater promises “an exclusive pre-show specifically curated for [its] screenings, special concession treats and other surprises”—here’s hoping that includes some appearances from the cast, or Tarantino himself. Tickets for all screenings go on sale Saturday, July 13 at noon—note that all tickets will be released in advance, so don’t expect any night-of seats. And make sure to read our five-star review of the gloriously fun alt-history of ‘60s Hollywood.
Moonlight Movies on the Beach
The best things in life really are free—love, happiness and an evening spent watching movies on a giant inflatable screen at the beach. On select dates from June until August, pack up your folding chairs, grab your kids and head to Long Beach for this unique outdoor screening. Thanks to Alfredo’s Beach Club, you can give your babysitter the night off while you and the fam enjoy a host of kid-friendly flicks. Bring your own picnic, or munch on eats from the nearby snack stand. You’ll find the event hitting Granada Beach, Cherry Beach and Shoreline Village.
Poolside Cinema at Mr. C Beverly Hills
Supplement your typical summer drink date with a little cinema at Mr. C Beverly Hills' poolside screening series. Grab a cocktail and settle in to enjoy a classic film, alongside alfresco eats, a special poolside menu and traditional movie snacks, like popcorn and candy. Films begin at sundown every Tuesday through Labor Day. This year's roster of crowd favorites includes A Star is Born (June 11), Bridesmaids (July 2) and Avengers: Infinity War (Aug 20), to name a few. You’ll need to book a dining reservation to secure a spot—and plan to possibly need an Uber home.
Rooftop Movie Night at Madame Tussauds
Madame Tussauds Hollywood is hosting a rooftop screening series, and somehow House of Wax isn’t on the slate. But you will find a trio of screenings paired with facsimilies of their stars: Crossroads with wax figures of Britney Spears and Zoe Saldana, a Golden Girls marathon with Betty White’s wax look-alike and Magic Mike with a guest performance by the Hollywood Men.
Outfest Los Angeles
For two weeks each summer, Outfest, the world’s largest gay and lesbian film festival, takes over the gay social calendar in Los Angeles with a slew of parties, screenings and galas that attract a veritable who’s who of out filmmakers, actors and bold-faced below-the-line names. Each year, the centerpiece events of the festival are the opening and closing night galas, which tend to be booze-fueled schmoozefests where introductions are easygoing and the opportunities for networking with celebrigays of all stripes is plentiful.
Rooftop Cinema Club
The masters of alfresco rooftop movie viewing have returned for another season of screenings in Hollywood and Downtown L.A. Known for excellent film choices and a steady supply of snacks and booze, Rooftop Cinema Club is your snazzy, comfortable and less stressful alternative to other outdoor movie screenings. You don’t even need to bring your own blanket or camping chair—Rooftop Cinema Club provides you with your very own comfy lawn chair, as well as blankets on request for the ultimate cozy experience. And instead of listening to the movie over loudspeakers, you’ll get a set of wireless headphones so you never have to miss a word. Want to win two tickets to Rooftop Cinema Club? Enter now!
