Los Angeles events this weekend
Weekends in Los Angeles start on Thursday for most practical purposes. Sunset Strip in West Hollywood is busiest Thursday through Saturday, with the Comedy Store, Whisky a Go Go, the Roxy, the Viper Room, and Saddle Ranch all within a few blocks of each other on the same stretch of Sunset between Doheny and Crescent Heights. Most arena and amphitheater shows at Crypto.com Arena, the Kia Forum, the Greek Theatre, and the Hollywood Bowl run doors at 6:30 or 7 with headliners between 8 and 9. Saturdays are the heaviest event night of the week — expect the Bowl, the Greek, the Forum, Crypto.com, and SoFi Stadium to all be programming at the same time during summer touring season, with the West Hollywood and downtown LA Live restaurant districts saturated by 6 pm. Reserve dinner before a show or plan to grab quick food at LA Live's food hall, Hollywood and Highland's quick-service spots, or any of the Smorgasburg vendors in the Arts District. Sundays in LA lean toward the outdoor and family-friendly slate. Smorgasburg LA at ROW DTLA runs every Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm with food vendors, music, and crafts. Sunday Sound Bites at the Greek Theatre programs free pre-show music and food. The Hollywood Bowl programs Sunday Sunset concerts through summer, the Dodgers play Sunday day games at Chavez Ravine, and Santa Monica Pier runs free Sunday afternoon concerts during the Twilight on the Pier summer series. Pick a corner of the city and build the day around it.
