Hey, we get it – Los Angeles is a big city. Not only are there endless opportunities for coffee stops, beach visits, and celebrity sightings, but the metropolis also boasts an absolutely massive catalogue of events. Even on a daily basis, the list of things to do can certainly seem a little overwhelming at times.
Somewhere, among the hazy smog that engulfs the city, lies a hotbed of culture and entertainment – you just have to sift through the haze to find what’s best. That’s why we over at LA Guestlist have done the work for you and put together the seven hottest, freshest, and most Los Angeles events we could find for you in the week of August 21st – August 27th. Something for you each and every night.
We’ll try not to break your wallet, either.
MONDAY, AUGUST 21st
It’s Monday – and you may not be in the mood to “go out” dancing, or see a show. Instead, sit back and relax at Alcove Cafe & Bakery’s outdoor patio in Los Feliz as you watch the Richard Linklater classic Dazed and Confused. Doors open at 6 with the movie kicking off at 8 PM – admission is free.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 22nd
Many can tell you about Cesar Chavez’ impact on history, but little can tell you about woman who worked right alongside him and created an equally (if not more) influential role. Dolores Huerta, whose massive accomplishments go mostly overlooked, now has a jaw-dropping documentary crafted about her life (past and present). The best part? It’s getting screened this Tuesday and Dolores is going to be there, in person, right next to the director.
Tickets and more info available here.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23rd
If you are moderately or passionately in love with jazz, or even barely can name a jazz musician’s name if your life depended on it, you are not going to want to miss this jaw dropping performance from masterminds Herbie Hancock and Kamasi Washington.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 24th
If you’ve been contemplating checking out some of Los Angeles’ vibrant museum scene, there is no better day than this one, as MOCA Grand & Geffen, Long Beach Museum of Art, Skirball Cultural Center, and Japanese American National Museum are free!

I know, I know. What more information is needed, right? Free to attend (!!!!!!), the LA TACO FESTIVAL invites a plethora of taco vendors, from Kogi BBQ to Pink Taco (and many, MANY in-between).
