Things to do in Los Angeles this Sunday

Summertime drive-in series Electric Dusk and the Vista’s late-night Secret Movie Club are teaming up for some screenings in Glendale, held atop the old Sears parking garage. Most films are shown as double featurs, and you can purchase tickets to just one movie or both each night; either way, you’ll pay a flat car fee plus a per-person charge. And like other drive-in screenings, cars will be spaced six feet apart and you’ll need to remain inside of it during the film.

In celebration of the late Bob Baker’s 97th birthday, the namesake theater is mounting an online celebration hosted at a virtual recreation of Union Station and Downtown L.A. The free experience, which debuts on February 27 and runs for a week, includes a puppet-led tour of Union Station and their appearances at landmarks across the city; a trip into the Bob Baker Marionette Theater archives; a five-hour livestreamed filmed inside of the theater; and appearances from humorist Charles Phoenix, actor David Arquette and more.

After being forced to scrap last year’s in-person fair at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, Printed Matter is taking things online for 2021—and expanding its scope. The event combines the annual New York and L.A. art book fairs into a single exhibition of zines, artists’ books and out-of-print editions from over 400 exhibitors, each with a dedicated website that features books for sale as well as panels and videos. Don’t miss the Wednesday evening opening, which features a virtual variety show from the Bob Baker Marionette Theater.

Insomniac—who’s behind EDC, HARD Summer and the Wonderland series—is transporting the carnival-like Day-Glo atmosphere of its music fests to Arcadia’s Santa Anita park for an after-dark drive-thru this January. Electric Mile has constructed seven themed areas inspired by the promoter’s various fests, with a total of five million lights—plus lasers, disco balls, light-up mushrooms and a warehouse rave—along an hour-long route, all experienced from your car. And as you might expect, it’s all be set to an EDM soundtrack curated by festival founder Pasquale Rotella. Timed tickets are priced per car (up to eight people), and the cost varies by day; early evenings and school nights tend to be cheaper ($70 to $80), while Friday nights and all-day Saturday costs $100. Initial reports made it sound like the wait to get into the drive-thru was a bit slow for non-VIP ticket holders, so Insomniac announced that it would lower Electric Mile’s daily capacity moving forward.

On Sundays and other select evenings in February, you can roll up to the valet parking lot (enter on Orange Drive) at Hollywood’s most beautiful hotel for a slate of drive-in screenings—including some lovey-dovey Valentine’s picks. This month’s lineup at the Roosevelt includes favorites like Pretty Woman, Casablanca, The Notebook, When Harry Met Sally and Dirty Dancing. Each ticket comes with complimentary popcorn, plus the option to order from a concession stand. Tickets cost $45 per car, with premium spots as high as $75.
