Welcome to “Things to do in Los Angeles!” It’s Sunday, August 24, 2025, and LA is buzzing with late-summer energy. With clear skies, mild breezes, and that classic golden sunshine, today’s air quality is good—an invitation to get outdoors and experience the city’s dynamic vibe, from iconic events to hidden local treasures.
Here’s your quick snapshot of today’s scene: community festivals pop up across neighborhoods, outdoor concerts are hopping, culinary delights await, and Angelenos are soaking in the mix of culture, fun, and sun.
What’s on the calendar for today? Let’s dive in:
- For music lovers, **Lost 80’s Live** hits the historic Greek Theatre tonight, serving up a nostalgia-fueled concert packed with classic 80s anthems—perfect for dancing under the stars[5].
- Downtown, **Grand Performances** brings another free, open-air global music concert to California Plaza, continuing LA’s proud tradition of summer evenings filled with diverse rhythms[6].
- Foodies and culture seekers: **Compton Fest 2025** is back, radiating community pride with live performances, family activities, and vendors celebrating Compton’s unique spirit[1].
- Cinephiles, don’t miss the classic movie screenings at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, where picnics, DJs, and films create a one-of-a-kind night among the stars and the storied headstones[1].
- If you’re seeking something off the beaten path, the **Walk4Humanities Block Party** in East Hollywood puts on family-friendly performances and art activations from late morning into the afternoon[9].
For nightlife and entertainment, check out the bustling **Micro Music Festival** at Hard Rock Cafe, gathering emerging bands across genres for bite-size festival vibes right in Hollywood’s heart[2].
In city news and announcements: LA continues to unveil new flavors, with **Little C’s Vietnamese street food pop-up** at Crustacean Beverly Hills offering lunch-only specials until today—don’t miss the filet mignon pho simmered for 24 hours[1]. Public transit is running smoothly, but do check local updates if you’re catching Metro lines after midnight.
Not sure what else to tackle today? Add these must-dos:
- Take a hike to the Griffith Observatory for panoramic city views and, on clear days like today, even a peek at the Pacific Ocean[8].
- Explore the vibrant murals and boutique shops in the Arts District.
- Grab a fresh juice along the Venice Boardwalk, and watch street performers turn the promenade into a stage.
Here’s a local tip: Avoid Hollywood Blvd. gridlock by hopping Metro’s Red Line if you’re bound for an event in Hollywood tonight. LA’s traffic is legendary—locals beat it with smart transit and savvy shortcuts.
Did you know? The palm trees that define LA’s silhouette were mostly planted for the 1932 Olympics… and they’re not native to California!
Before you go, don’t miss what’s up tomorrow—look out for Coffee Fest at the LA Convention Center and a new free outdoor art installation opening downtown[10]. Tune in again for more on the coolest spots, upcoming festivals, and the next LA adventure!

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.
