For one summer in 1987, a carnival popped up in Germany with traditional rides adorned with artwork by Salvador Dalí, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, David Hockney, Sonia Delaunay and a couple dozen others. And then… it kind of just vanished, sent off into storage for decades. But now, thanks to a couple of art world partners and Drake, Luna Luna has been revived in L.A., restored and reassembled in a soundstage in Boyle Heights through May 12. Though you can’t climb aboard the rides here, the atmosphere is magical and—for contemporary art fans for sure—worth the relatively steep price of admission. On the other hand, as alluring as that reflective Dalídome is though, we’d say that splurging on a VIP pass (which comes with a couple of other perks) isn’t worth it just to snap a photo inside of it. You can read more here about our experience at Luna Luna.
The weekend is here and, if you’re like us, you’re so happy that you could shout it from a rooftop—or into a microphone at a karaoke bar. Fridays in L.A. tend to bring high-energy happenings in the evenings, including buzzy performances and weekend-long event kickoffs. Whether you’re looking to unwind with a cocktail or to stay up all night at a midnight movie, you’ll find plenty of things to do in L.A. this Friday.
