Mads here! Fourth of July has come and gone, which means it's officially time to make the most of LA's best season. Luckily, we've rounded up the bucket-list spots and experiences you won't want to miss before summer's over:
Malibu Chili Cook-Off 🌶️ My favorite weekend of the year is back!! The Malibu Chili Cook-Off returns Labor Day Weekend with 4 days of carnival rides, live music, great food, and all the classic Malibu charm.
Catalina Island 🍷 Can't make it to Europe this summer? Catalina is the next best thing: crystal-clear water, beach clubs, and a day that feels surprisingly far from LA.
Bliss Beach, Across LA 🏖️ If you’re sick of having mediocre beach days, Bliss Beach can hook your group up with an incredible waterfront set-up for a special occasion or treat-yourself day-party!
Outdoor Movies, Across LA 📽️ There’s no better time of year to take advantage of outdoor movie showings. While there is no shortage of screenings to choose from, both Hotel Bel Air and the Beverly Hills Hotel are scenic spots for a bougie viewing experience.
Live Music, Across LA 🎶 The city has a live music series for every type of listener: free Jazz Nights at LACMA, The Getty’s free outdoor indie concerts, backyard sessions in Laurel Canyon, KCRW Summer Nights, Malibu’s Sunday concert series, and Sofar Sounds’ secret shows all over town.
Barnsdall Art Park, Los Feliz 🍷 Barnsdall Friday Wine Nights are the party of the summer: golden hour, great wine, and unbeatable views by the Hollyhock House. Your ticket even includes a commemorative wine glass.
The Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood 🎻 Tis the season to pack the picnic of your dreams and enjoy so many different genres of music by the Philharmonic and your favorite artists at The Bowl!
Dodgers Stadium, Echo Park ⚾ No summer is complete without a Dodger dog, duh!
Okay, now on to the coolest things to do in LA this week.
