And they're off! On Friday and Saturday, the grand finale of the thoroughbred horseracing season makes its way to Santa Anita Park. Cheer on your favorite horses during the two-day celeb-studded championship races. Grab a bite to eat at the Taste of LA food court, and catch a post-race concert in the infield at Songs in the Saddle. And make sure to dress to impress for the Fascinators & Fedoras contest: The lady with the best fascinator (that's a fancy phrase for a headpiece) and the man with the best fedora could each win a $10,000 Westfield Mall gift card. Race hours vary, check the schedule for details.
There are plenty of things to do in our November 2014 events calendar before you need to start thawing that turkey. Balance the upcoming holidays with equal parts generosity—try one of these volunteer opportunities—and gluttony—gorge on the best pies in Los Angeles for Thanksgiving. So bundle up (or strip down; it's still LA, after all) with affordable, essential fall fashion and take advantage of all there is to do in our November 2014 events calendar.
