LA's Buzzing Saturday: Raves, Live Music, Sports, and More Surprises than a Cheese-Rolling Festival!
September 20, 2025 • 3 mins
Welcome, listeners, to “Things to Do in Los Angeles” with your sports-mad, adventure-chasing pal Oly Bennet, reporting live on Saturday, September 20th, 2025! At just before 10am, LA is already buzzing–the sun’s shining high, temps are delightfully in the mid-70s, and the city hums with electric, late-summer energy. Wherever you are, get ready for a day stuffed fuller than a Dodger Dog with mind-blowing events, cultural curiosity, and more surprises than I find at a cheese-rolling festival!
Today, LA is turning up the volume for every type of explorer. Music fans, grab your glowsticks and a hydration pack because tonight Los Globos transforms into “GALAXY,” a six-hour rave packed with house, techno, and bass from Graviity, BombSqvad, and a lunar lineup of DJs on two stages. Expect state-of-the-art lasers, Funktion-One sound, and dancing ‘til 3am–it’s basically a spacecraft fueled by bass and wild energy according to the event organizers.
Looking for an iconic LA experience instead? Head to LA State Historic Park for “La La Land in Concert!” The Oscar-winning score will be performed live while the film waltzes across the big screen. If that doesn’t make you want to tap dance down the nearest staircase, I don’t know what will. Pre-show food trucks mean you’ll never have to choose between gourmet tacos and a seat on the grass.
Sports fans, you’re spoiled today! The Dodgers face the Giants in their final regular home game–Clayton Kershaw’s 3,000th strikeout bobblehead is up for grabs, so bring your mitt and sprint for souvenirs. Meanwhile, soccer gets star billing at Dignity Health Sports Park as the LA Galaxy host FC Cincinnati under the floodlights.
For families and festival lovers, it’s jazz hands at the ready for the 30th Annual Central Avenue Jazz Festival. Groove to more than a dozen bands, savor local eats, and let little ones join hands-on creativity with LACMA and the LA Zoo–all along historic Central Avenue. And speaking of creative strumming, over in Torrance, the LA International Ukulele Festival strums up workshops, surprise giveaways, and show-stopping performances for the uke-curious of all ages.
Nightlife more your speed? If you want to keep the rhythm going, hit up Avalon Hollywood, where secret lineups and all-night house music promise to keep your feet moving into tomorrow.
Switching gears to some quick local buzz: LA’s got foodies drooling with a string of new restaurant openings, including a boba fusion spot in Koreatown and a highly-anticipated vegan taco joint just steps from Echo Park. Public transit is rolling out extra late-night Metro rides for event-goers–take note if you’re planning on dancing into the wee hours.
Not-to-miss activities today? Snap a photo under the dazzling lights of Urban Light at LACMA, grab an egg sandwich at Grand Central Market, or hike Griffith Park for epic city views–the morning haze means you’ll get killer sunrise snaps. Oh, and a local sports quirk: rumor has it, early risers jogging around Silver Lake Reservoir can sometimes spot pro skaters practicing their moves before dawn. Now that’s LA–athletic, unexpected, and a little bit legendary.
Tomorrow, get hyped for even more: Train Festival at Union Station with live music, model trains, and interactive exhibits, plus the monster-packed Fright Fest at Six Flags, rolling out haunted mazes that’ll make your hair stand straighter than a field hockey stick.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
