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. This year’s first batch of screenings includes Beetlejuice, The Matrix, Legally Blonde and Rear Window. 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.
Bill Esparza's Taqueando Taco Festival
Author, reporter and one of the world's most authoritative taco authorities Bill Esparza is organizing a brand new taco festival at ROW DTLA, kicking off summer with a ton of heat. On June 15, dozens of taqueros and Mexican restaurants will set up shop within the Arts District complex, handing out unlimited samples of their tacos and representing various styles from L.A., Mexico, Orange County, San Diego, Arizona and beyond. Expect roughly 40 different vendors, plus cash bars and other items perfect for a summer day. And because it's Esparza curating the lineup, this roster features some of the best tacos we've ever tried: Sonoratown, Mariscos Jalisco, Carnitas El Momo, Aqui es Texcoco, Tacos 1986, Coni'Seafood, Guerrilla Tacos—and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Each $45 ticket gets you entry and unlimited bites, while a $75 VIP ticket will let you enter the fest at noon (one hour early), plus grant you access to an exclusive tasting area, a T-shirt and more. Whichever ticket you choose, just make sure to wear some pants with a little give. You'll thank us later.
Birdie G's Pre-Opening Dinner Series
Jeremy Fox is ramping up to the opening of Birdie G's—one of the year's most anticipated new restaurants—his homestyle spot carving out a corner in SaMo's Bergamot Station complex. But before we can fully taste the Rustic Canyon chef's upscale, locally sourced take on comfort food, the chef is opening the doors and giving us all a little preview of what to expect from Birdie G's with a three-night, 100-seat dinner series cooked by faces old and new. Each night is separated by theme, but at all three dinners you'll be able to sample some of what Fox has up his sleeves for his latest project. June 5's National Treasures night enlists some of the best chefs in the country: Kim Alter of San Francisco's Nightbird; Naomi Pomeroy of Portland's Beast; James Syhabout of Oakland's Commis and Hawker Fare, among others; and Gavin Kaysen of Minneapolis’s Spoon and Stable, Bellecour and Demi. Night two, held on June 8, spotlights Local Legends: Josef Centeno of BäcoMercat, Bar Amà and Orsa & Winston; Genevieve Gergis and Ori Menashe of Bestia and Bavel; and Jessica Koslow of SQIRL. Finally, on June 11, Fox is closing out the series with a dinner cooked by members of his own Rustic Canyon Family, such as Andy Doubrava of Rustic Canyon; Erin Eastland and Jen Toomey of Huckleberry, Milo & Olive and the new Milo SRO; Bryant Ng of Cassia and more. Tickets to each dinner run $85 per person, though if you want to go all the way, a $45 supplement will get you wine pairing pours from the Rust
Evening of Tiki at the Spare Room
The Spare Room's summer celebration of all things tiki drink is back in full force. Kicking off on Wednesday, May 22, beverage director Yael Vengroff will hop behind the bar with different guest bartenders one night every month, whipping up tiki-themed cocktail menus with a new drink list each time. At the kickoff, find Jason Asher and Mitchell Lyons of Phoenix's Undertow; on June 19, Ben Clemons and Puck of Nashville's Pearl Diver; on July 10, Will Elliott of Brooklyn's Maison Premiere; on August 14, Emily Mistell of Portland's Hey Love; and finally, closing out the series, on September 18, Travis Tober of Austin's Nickel City. And because it wouldn't be a full-on tiki party without all the trappings, expect tiki-leaning food items, DJ sets and more. The fun runs from 8pm to 2am each month, and there's no cover—save those dollars for an extra round of mai tais.
Rose Bowl Flea Market
Perhaps the Los Angeles area’s most iconic flea market, this event around the exterior of the Rose Bowl is staggeringly colossal—but what else would you expect from a 90,000-seat stadium? The sheer size and scale of this flea market means that it encompasses multitudes: new and old, hand-crafted and salvaged, the cheap and the costly. On the second Sunday of each month, an odd mix of vendors populates the loop around the stadium: for every eye-catching artwork, there's a ratty $5 T-shirt, and for each elegant craft there's a competing "as seen on TV" demo. But you may have more luck in the rows and rows of old furniture, albums and vintage clothes and accessories that fill the adjacent parking lot. There are plenty of duds, to be sure, but come out early enough and you may go home with that perfect purchase. This destination flea market attracts bargain hunters, collectors, and antique aficionados from all over the county, so the organizers have instituted an extensive tiered entry/admission system, allowing professional and dedicated shoppers early access at a premium.
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.
LA Zoo Wine Dinner Series
It's easy to go moderately wild at the zoo—especially after dark, when the sun sets and you're surrounded by the sights and sounds of tigers, elephants, reptiles, snow leopards and primates. But throw in some wine? Well, now you're really going wild. This spring the LA Zoo reprises its hit dinner series with a focus on sustainably-made, locally-sourced wines that pair through your five-course meal. Each event takes place in a different section of the park, and can include up-close animal encounters, discussions with zookeepers, and a farm-to-table menu with dishes like seared diver scallops with cauliflower, fava beans, country ham, and parmesan bread crumbs; pork shank ragu over fresh rigatoni with sage ricotta; and crab fritters with Meyer lemon aioli. On March 21, dine in the Amazonian stilthouse at the Zoo’s Rainforest of the Americas exhibit as you sip Presqu’ile Winery, then follow it up with the next installment, the April 11 dinner on the Cambodia terrace at Elephants of Asia while you enjoy a selection from Cambria Estate Winery. On May 30, head to the Mahale Mountain terrace in the Zoo’s Africa section for a dinner full of Brave & Maiden Estate pours, then close out this year's series on a bridge overlooking the LAIR—that's the "Living Amphibians, Invertebrates and Reptiles" section—with some Riverbench Vineyard & Winery in hand. Sorry, little wild ones, these dinners are 21+. But if you're a Zoo member, we've got good news: You can enter your information for di
Yola Fest
For the inaugural fest, Swedish singer-songwriter Lykke Li has assembled an all-female lineup of musicians that ranks among this summer’s best festival lineups. In addition to Lykke Li, Charli XCX, Courtney Love and the Chateau Band, Cat Power, CupcakKe, Megan Thee Stallion and Ambar Lucid have all been tapped to play the single-day fest at Los Angeles State Historic Park. Yola Fest, which goes down on June 8, takes its name from Yola Mezcal, a female-run venture from Yola Jimenez, Gina Correll Aglietti and Lykke Li. Food vendors and activation announcements are still to come, as well as more performers. Though pricing info isn’t available yet, tickets for the 21-plus event go on sale Friday, April 5 at 10am. A portion of proceeds will go to the Downtown Women’s Center.
Summer on 7th
Music, great food and killer architecture for a great cause? One of our favorite summer fundraisers is back, and this year's lineup is stellar. At Summer on 7th, spend an evening at the stunning Inner-City Arts campus during this annual Arts District benefit. Catch rooftop sets from Best Coast and Shannon and the Clams, J. Rocc and Peanut Butter Wolf, plus DJ sets by Hello DJ, Tottie and Mamabear. Scope out art installations as you wander through the open studios, then have a few drinks from Arts District Wine and bites from Cassell's, Chinese Laundry, Comfort LA, Everson Royce Bar, Guerrilla Tacos, Pizzanista, Plant Food for People, and Manuela. Proceeds support the Inner-City Arts' mission to provide underserved youth in L.A. with access to free arts education, so really, how can you say no?
Noon to Midnight
Close out the LA Phil’s Fluxus Festival with an entire day of performances throughout the Walt Disney Concert Hall. You’ll find pop-up performances from local ensembles in the performance center’s entrance hall, garden and main auditorium, including a separately ticketed concert conducted by minimalist composer John Adams. The afternoon takes place in a decidedly festival-like atmosphere that includes food trucks and beer—plus free ice cream and cake as part of David Robbins’s relational art piece, Ice Cream Social.
Yola Fest
For the inaugural fest, Swedish singer-songwriter Lykke Li has assembled an all-female lineup of musicians that ranks among this summer’s best festival lineups. In addition to Lykke Li, Charli XCX, Courtney Love and the Chateau Band, Cat Power, CupcakKe, Megan Thee Stallion and Ambar Lucid have all been tapped to play the single-day fest at Los Angeles State Historic Park.

I Like Scary Movies
Forget the Museum of Ice Cream and 29 Rooms—the latest selfie-bait experience to hit L.A. trades cutesy for creepy, hurling you into some of the most beloved and recognizable horror films of all time. I Like Scary Movies, a 25,000-square-foot wonderland of terror-fueled photo ops, is a walkthrough experience that flips the script on the social-media "museum" craze and allows you to pose and interact with scenes and settings from IT, Beetlejuice, The Lost Boys, The Shining and Nightmare on Elm Street. Note: I Like Scary Movies runs every Thursday to Sunday in April and May, and Wednesday to Sunday in June, on the second floor of the Desmond building, at 5514 Wilshire Blvd.
Broken Social Scene
Broken Social Scene hadn’t released an album together since 2010’s Forgiveness Rock Record. Save for a couple of festival appearances, the band had pretty much ceased to exist since then. But that changed with the Canadian collective’s return to the tour and club circuit to promote the release of their excellent Hug of Thunder (and again in 2019 with the new EP, Let’s Try The After - Vol 1). Many things may have changed since 2010, but Broken Social Scene’s cool-yet-moody indie rock anthems—both old and new—are still just as timeless as ever.
Hot Tub with Kurt and Kristen
Kristen Schaal and Kurt Braunohler host their variety show, Hot Tub, every Monday night at the Virgil. Expect a fresh, oddball lineup each week of stand-up comics, sketch performances and new music.
LA Pride
One of the biggest pride events in the US, LA Pride attracts as many as a half of a million people during its two-day festival at West Hollywood Park, including its signature Sunday parade. The atmosphere is good-natured and raucous; local color is provided by divas, drag queens and DJs. RECOMMENDED: Full guide to LA Pride 2019
SPLASH HOUSE Palm Springs Pool + Music Weekend
Say goodbye to dusty thoroughfares and violent porta-potties: Splash House takes the music festival concept off of sweltering desert land and places it poolside. Movers and shakers at this multi-location getdown are shuttled between the Renaissance, the Riviera Resort and the Saguaro to lap up big-name dance acts and DJ sets. With the added comforts of AC rooms and critically acclaimed restaurant fare just steps away from the party scenes, the experience will make you question whether to bother with more punishing locales come next year’s festival season.
LAWineFest
Listen up, winos! LAWineFest is in its 14th season and better than ever, bringing wines, brews and spirits from all over the world to thirsty Angelenos. Sip on samples at each station with access to wines from dozens of wineries, plus seminars, live entertainment, boutiques and food trucks galore. Be sure to buy tickets ahead of time because prices increase at the door. Oh, and you'll get to keep your glass, so don't feel so smug about sneaking it into your purse.
Andrew Bird
Since moving to L.A., multi-instrumentalist Andrew Bird has been known to pop up every few months for small, intimate shows. The shows aren’t too different from his “Gezelligheid” tours; the name translates to “extra, extra cozy” in Dutch, an atmosphere Bird encourages at the intimate performances where he uplifts listeners before entering the dark winter. Expect a reworking of his impressive back catalog with a heavy emphasis on violin pieces, an instrument he’s been playing since he was four—plus songs from his newest album, My Finest Work Yet.
Urban Air Market
Stock up on handmade wares at this open-air artisan market in Los Feliz, with more than 100 sustainable and ethical fashion brands. Find the market at the intersection of Hillhurst and Franklin.
Artists & Fleas Venice
The newest flea market on the block, the Venice outpost of this artisan/craft-focused flea market mini-empire is bringing records, vintage and vintage-inspired clothing, cosmetics, jewelry and more to the Westminster Avenue Elementary School. A handful of small batch confectioners provide sweet treats to snack on or take home, while food trucks and nearby restaurants provide heartier bites. Though relatively small in size, owing perhaps to its prime location bookending the neighborhood’s famed Abbot Kinney stretch, vendors hawk a diverse range of hand-made and expertly curated wares that seems to simultaneously fit in and stand out in one of the nation’s most unusual neighborhoods.
Lummis Day Festival
Celebrate the history and ethnic diversity of northeast Los Angeles at this annual music, dance and art festival. The three-day affair honors the late Charles Lummis, the journalist who founded the Southwest Museum, hand-built his own home (the Lummis House) and defended Native American rights and culture.
Asssscat
Every Saturday and Sunday, the UCB franchise’s longest-running, most beloved showcase starts when a base cast of the theater’s current top-brass—including founding UCB members Matt Walsh, Matt Besser and Ian Roberts—takes the stage. Then they introduce the surprise celebrity alumnae and friends who will be joining them (think Horatio Sanz, Ben Schwartz, Adam Pally). And finally, another special guest takes the stage, a non-improviser (think Flea, Cat Power, Rebel Wilson, Lena Dunham) who opens the show with a personal story, that’s deftly mined for laughs by the players. But you have to go to find out who’s there—that’s part of the fun. Looking for a cheap night out? Sunday shows are free, but seating is first-come, first-served, so be sure to arrive early.
Picture This!
Animation meets live comedy at this stand-up series from Brandie Posey and Sam Varela. Comedians perform on-stage as local artists sketch them—and cross their fingers for a smooth reveal of the drawing. Of course, since this is L.A., you can expect top-notch talent among both the comedians and animators.
EA Play
Get your hands on some of the biggest upcoming releases in the gaming world as publisher EA hosts this public-facing fan event. Each timed ticket to the mini expo at the Hollywood Palladium includes the chance to play Battlefied V, Apex Legends, Anthem and a slew of EA Sports titles, as well as an inside look at the upcoming Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
Final Fridays
Nosh on bites from a rotating lineup of food trucks during this monthly hangout just outside the Rose Bowl, complete with foot golf, outdoor games, moon bounces, photo ops and stadium tours. Even entry is through the northern end of Lot K, just southwest of the stadium.
Mar Vista Art Walk
This fun neighborhood stroll highlights the numerous artists, musicians, shops and galleries of Mar Vista, where huge vivid murals brighten exterior walls everywhere you look. Since launching in 2015, the quarterly event has dramatically expanded, now featuring several clusters of activity along Venice Boulevard. Catch local musicians and performers throughout the evening, artists selling their works as well as creating new ones on the spot, grab food from trucks, and browse galleries and shops that stay open late. The walk takes place the first Thursday of March, June, September and November, each time featuring a different theme and the artists are curated by Monique Boileau and Mitchelito Orquiola.
Playhouse Block Party
Celebrate the Pasadena Playhouse’s legacy during the free Playhouse Block Party. The party, held at the corner of El Molino and Colorado, features performances from local bands and ensembles, hands-on art pop-ups and a slew of food trucks.
Pasadena Chalk Festival
Every Father’s Day weekend more than 600 artists create temporary masterpieces in chalk on the streets of Pasadena at the Paseo Colorado shopping center during this street painting festival—the largest in the world—while 100,000 onlookers watch where they walk. Styles of artwork run the gamut from classical to contemporary, and young ones can get creative themselves at Kid's Chalkland, where they can make cards for their dads. Also on offer is live music, shopping and food, plus a Police Classic Car Show on Sunday from 10am to 3pm. Eventually awards are presented in a number of different categories, and then it’s all washed away for good. RECOMMENDED: Pasadena Chalk Festival (slide show)

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.

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.
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.

All of the events dog-friendly, and a portion of ticket sales benefit Best Friends Animal Society.
Last Remaining Seats
The L.A. Conservancy offers a delightful summer time machine in the form of live entertainment and classic films, screened across Downtown’s grand old movie palaces throughout the month of June. This year’s lineup includes vintage crowd-pleasers like The Maltese Falcon and Spartacus alongside some modern classics like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Network. Most screenings include a special introduction and a post-film Q&A. Members of the conservancy can snag discounted tickets early; peep the schedule for showtime and location deats.
Rom Com Fest
There’s no need to hide your tears during this film fest for fellow romantic comedy lovers, an age-old genre of flicks that find us laughing for the first hour and a half and then inevitably weeping at a happy ending. Rom Com Fest will assemble a lineup of classics and premieres, all accompanied with some assortment of sips and sweets. Highlights of the four-day film fest at the Downtown Independent include His Girl Friday with a “future of rom-coms” post-screening discussion; Bride Wars with a Q&A from co-writers and actresses June Diane Raphael and Casey Wilson; a 20th anniversary screening of Never Been Kissed with self-professed rom-com enthusiast Rachel Bloom, who’ll be sitting for a chat with the fest’s founder, Miraya Berke; a CBD-gummies–fueled pajama party for How Stella Got Her Groove Back; and a showing of 10 Things I Hate About You complete with a letter writing workshop and a Q&A from writers Kirsten “Kiwi” Smith and Karen McCullah. In addition, you’ll find five premieres and screenings of new flicks, with culinary pairings for each like cold brew coffee and mochi ice cream, as well as additional live events. Tickets for classic films cost $15 per screening, while new releases run for $12. If you want to see three films and attend an opening night party, you can opt for a $55 package, or reserve a seat for every single screening with a $150 all-access badge.
Outdoor Movies at the Skirball
Take a seat in the Skirball Cultural Center’s courtyard for this series of outdoor screenings. The Sepulveda Pass museum is showing fashion-forward films in connection with its exhibitions about fashion designer Rudi Gernreich and phtoographer Kwame Brathwaite. This year’s slate includes Funny Face, Zoolander and The Devil Wears Prada.
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 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.
