Hey listeners, welcome to Things to Do in Los Angeles! It’s Thursday, September 25, 2025, and yours truly—Oly Bennet—here, ready to sprint, somersault, and shimmy my way through LA’s wildest happenings. The city’s current vibe? Imagine the perfect LA weather: golden sunshine, a refreshing breeze, and that slight September hint of autumn, just enough to make folks swap shades for sweaters by sunset.

Today, LA is positively electric—with A-listers, cosplayers, and music lovers flooding the streets for events that crank the city’s fun meter to max. The Hollywood Bowl is buzzing tonight as LCD Soundsystem and Pulp deliver the kind of epic double-header that would even get the Griffith Observatory crowd stepping to the beat. For families, the Academy Museum is diving into shark-infested waters with their new Jaws exhibit—a must for movie trivia buffs, fin fans, and anyone who thinks theme music should always involve lurking menace.

If pop-culture is your jam, hold onto your superhero cape: LA Comic Con kicks off tomorrow, but even tonight the city is crawling with costumed crusaders gearing up for the madness. And for the hands-on crowd, Magic Box LA’s Pokémon TCG Pop-Up launches today, so expect giant Charizards, photo ops, and a chance to catch ‘em all until you drop candy wrappers in your Pokéballs. Nightlife warriors, rooftop season hasn’t called it quits yet—Bar Lis in Hollywood and Cha Cha Cha downtown are still shaking up cocktails and twinkling views, with mild temps making outdoor mingling a September sensation.

Looking for a festival vibe? The Watts Towers Jazz Festival is warming up for this weekend—expect soulful tunes, local eats, and some of the most joyful energy south of the Santa Monica Mountains. Meanwhile, at Montana Avenue in Santa Monica, the buzz is all about tomorrow’s Art Walk: dozens of artists lined up, painting, sculpting, and jazz-hand-waving all up and down the block. Adventure seekers, there’s a haunted hike at the Old Griffith Park Zoo coming up—perfect for adrenaline junkies and lovers of LA’s quirkier ghost stories.

Quick news for locals and urban explorers: Downtown LA’s Metro lines are running with extra evening service for event goers—no need to get stuck in that notorious LA gridlock. Eater LA whispers that two hot new eats just opened on Melrose: a Korean-Mexican fusion spot with tacos that look downright supernatural, and a pizza joint where the crust is so good, rumor has it, some are skipping the cheese just for the bread.

For the must-do hitlist today: snap your skyline selfie from a rooftop, dive into the Jaws exhibit for a bite of Hollywood history, or swing by Magic Box LA for your Pikachu fix. Pro-tip for listeners—if you want to skip the wait at big museum attractions, check out the multi-exhibit pass: it shaves off hours and lets you hop between LA icons like you’re a contestant in a citywide scavenger hunt. Did you know Los Angeles has more museums per capita than any other city on Earth? More than 100! So you’re never too far from getting lost in a gallery, a pop-up science lab, or, yes, an actual tar pit.

On the horizon for tomorrow: Montana Avenue’s Art Walk, the Watts Towers music extravaganza, and the preview night for LA Comic Con. So keep those sneakers laced—LA’s not slowing down! Tune in for tomorrow’s rundown, because I’ll be chasing more offbeat spectacles and hidden gems than Ollie could ever fit into one podcast.
