Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Los Angeles! I'm Oly Bennet, your globe-trotting, good-times guide, and today is October 4th, 2025. The sun's out, the sky’s flaunting that classic “LA blue,” and Angelenos are practically inventing their own season—somewhere between fall and summer, with pumpkin spice lattes in one hand and sunglasses in the other. The city is buzzing with the energy of a Saturday packed with events, a touch of Halloween mischief lurking in the air, and music floating through every neighborhood.

For those hungry for adventure, let’s sink our teeth into today’s showstoppers. First up, music fans: Dua Lipa is lighting up the Kia Forum this afternoon with her chart-topping hits—this show is bound to be a dance-a-thon, so don’t forget your comfortable shoes, glitter, or your best Dua-inspired moves, as highlighted by Discover Los Angeles.

If you’re after a family-friendly fall kickoff, Reyes Adobe Days has its opening night at Reyes Adobe Park, promising live music, mouthwatering festival foods, and wacky games—perfect for little ones and kids at heart. For lovers of the theatrical and the slightly spooky, the Haunted Soiree: Vampire at the Nocturne Theatre promises immersive storytelling, decadent drinks, and just the right amount of creepy fun.

Meanwhile, art buffs, don’t miss FREE TO SP%@K! at Village Well Books & Coffee—the name alone is a conversation starter, and you’ll find local artists, interactive art, and plenty of good vibes. And if you’re searching for history with a twist, grab your best walking shoes for the Forgotten History of LA walking tour at El Pueblo de Los Ángeles Historical Monument, guided by Ken Gonzales-Day and Edgar Garcia, as listed on the USC events calendar. Whether you love music, history, or Halloween shenanigans, LA’s calendar is as lively as the city’s freeways at rush hour.

Now for your city scoop: Los Angeles is serving up some fresh flavor with foodie pop-ups, like pumpkin-inspired everything popping up at bakeries and coffee shops citywide—fall is subtle here, but the pumpkin invasion is not. For movers and shakers, Metro has scheduled extra trains tonight for concert and festival crowds, so skip the Uber surge and ride Metro like a local. Rumor also has it that the historic Tail o' the Pup just hosted its Inaugural Big Weeny Fest in West Hollywood—apparently, the wiener dog costume contest was off the leash.

Now, if you're looking for something uniquely LA today, why not tackle a Mystery Picnic in the South Bay? It’s a culinary scavenger hunt that will have you solving clues, sampling eats from secret hotspots, and discovering views you won’t find on a postcard. Or flip the classic pumpkin patch script by finding the quirkiest gourd at a local farm—just be ready for selfies among the scarecrows.

Here’s your Oly Bennet power tip: If you’re heading to any big event today, leave the car behind and hop on public transit—our Metro might not run at Formula 1 speeds, but it’ll save you parking nightmares and, who knows, you might overhear the next great LA story on the ride!

Keep those calendars handy because tomorrow the energy keeps surging—AJR storms the Hollywood Bowl and the Hammer Museum’s Made in L.A. public opening night unleashes waves of local creativity. And don’t miss out as festival season kicks off with more music, cultural celebrations, and a sprinkle of autumn mischief.
