Description

Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Los Angeles, zipping into your speakers with planet-hopping hype on this dazzling Sunday, September 28, 2025! The city’s buzzing as only L.A. can: coastal breezes are keeping it classic at a high of 76 degrees, bluebird skies outshining any Hollywood filter, and you can feel that fall optimism swirling like confetti from the Santa Monica Pier to the heart of Koreatown.

L.A. is feasting on culture with something for everyone this weekend. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if your fave superheroes, a jazz legend, and vintage fashionistas all tumbled into the same city—wonder no more! Los Angeles Comic Con is filling the Convention Center with 800-plus artists and celeb sightings, and it’s not just for hardcore cosplayers. You might catch The Avengers’ Elizabeth Olsen practicing her best “LA traffic is my real nemesis” face, or fans repping everything from Doctor Who to K-drama chic according to Discover Los Angeles and Secret L.A.

Right as the sun dips, music lovers can swoon at the Hollywood Bowl with John Legend serenading the city at 7:30 p.m., or head to Crypto.com Arena for some hometown pride with Ice Cube lighting up the Truth to Power Tour. Craving something genre-bending? Spiritualized is ready to deliver a ‘90s psychedelic throwback at the Orpheum Theatre, and The Ford amps up the soul with Tributo A Los Grandes, an all-star mariachi tribute to Mexico’s most iconic musical legends.

Culture vultures, get your notebooks ready: the Los Angeles Women’s Theatre Festival continues today in North Hollywood, with panels and workshops spotlighting solo performers and real stories that’ll leave you inspired enough to climb your own creative mountain. For all the vintage treasure hunters out there, Cooper Design Space is your paradise at A Current Affair, where over 70 dealers sling the best planet-spanning fashions, from Victorian chic to disco queen, right in the heart of DTLA.

If you want to tap into L.A.’s family-friendly side, Watts Towers hosts the 48th Annual Simon Rodia Watts Towers Jazz Festival, pairing jazz, soul, and gospel with a true neighborhood vibe—bring your picnic, your moves, and your curiosity! The Autry Museum’s annual block party is also rolling out for the little ones and big kids at heart, complete with games, dancing, and a horse photo op. It’s also free for museum members, under-12s, veterans, and first responders.

On the local scoop, word on the taco trail is a new pop-up in Highland Park is elevating birria tacos to mythic status—locals are raving about “El Toro Volador’s” latest goat birria, so if you want to taste something legendary, that’s your secret password. Metro riders, take note: L.A. Metro is running extra late-night service on key lines this weekend for all your event-hopping needs.

If you’re still sketching out your must-do list, you can take an Instagram-worthy morning stroll along Venice Beach, scoot over to LACMA for the Urban Light selfie, or pop into the Skirball Center’s Diane von Furstenberg exhibit for a dose of high fashion and historic moxie. Hidden gem alert: Catch a free art show at the Wende Museum, where vintage Cold War memorabilia meets contemporary creative mischief, or drop by Armory Center for the Arts for “my hands are monsters who believe in magic.” That’s the real L.A. right there, folks!

Local tip: If you want to feel like an Angeleno, grab an artful coffee at an Eastside café, then ride Metro’s Expo Line from Downtown to Santa Monica—it’s hands-down the best way to witness L.A.’s sprawling personality, from skyscraper dazzle to surfboard cool, all in under 45 minutes. Side bonus: It’s easier on your wallet and the planet than driving the 10 Freeway.

Tomorrow, the city keeps shimmering with the second night of Laufey’s jazz-pop stylings, more Comic Con cosplay, and the lingering festival spirit. So tune in for the scoop and skip the FOMO!
