Have fun in the sun during your visit to Los Angeles! Especially if you’re traveling from a woefully wintry place, there’s plenty of outdoor entertainment in L.A. to choose from.
If you’re a music nut, check out the famed Hollywood Bowl for new and old favorites alike. There’s classical tunes every Tuesday and Thursday along with weekend firework shows! The Greek Theatre offers the best in indie and alternative acts, while the Santa Monica Pier offers a free Tuesday night Twilight Dance Series.
Artsy types can head to the Getty Center for international tunes, the Hammer Museum for avant-garde jazz acts, the Autry National Center for Gene Autry outdoor Western films and Latin fare, or downtown for MOCA’s After Dark party on Saturday Nights.
There’s also tons of open-air films to keep in mind for travel during the summer months. Be sure and check out the Independent Shakespeare Company, Cinespia, Shakespeare by the Sea, or Shakespeare in the Cemetery.
