Welcome to “Things to do in Los Angeles” for Saturday, August 30, 2025! Whether you’re a local or just exploring the City of Angels, we’ve got an exciting roundup of city happenings, news, and insider tips so you can make the absolute most of today.
The city’s summer energy is in full swing as the Labor Day weekend kicks off. Expect **sunny skies and sizzling highs in the 90s**, so remember your sunscreen and water when you step outside. The air is warm but city spirits are even warmer, with Angelenos gearing up for concerts, cultural festivals, and outdoor adventures[3].
Let’s dive into today’s highlight events:
- For nightlife seekers, head to Academy LA in Hollywood for **Bingo Loco**, a rave-inspired stage show with dance-offs, confetti showers, and outlandish prizes for a bingo night like you’ve never seen (doors open at 5 PM, 21+)[1].
- Music fans can catch the **DEEP 25th Anniversary** at Grand Performances downtown from 6 PM or sway to the sounds of the **6th Annual Leimert Park Jazz Festival**, where jazz and community take over the park for a family-friendly celebration[6][10].
- Dance lovers shouldn’t miss **Aditya Gadhvi Garba**, a lively evening of traditional Indian dance at Cerritos College Gymnasium from 7 PM, perfect for families and anyone looking to experience Gujarati culture[5].
- If EDM is your scene, **Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano** hit Avalon Hollywood for a late-night party, with doors at 10 PM (21+)[9].
- Looking for free fun? Pershing Square hosts a **free concert** at 3 PM with regional Mexican stars like Regulo Caro and Noel Torres—an open-air live music experience for all ages[10].
For culture buffs, don’t forget **the closing weekend of the Griffith Park Free Shakespeare Festival**, offering free performances of classics like Doctor Faustus and Love’s Labour’s Lost at the Old Zoo in Griffith Park[6]. Visual arts lovers can check the COLA 2025 Design and Visual Artist Exhibition or take a self-guided tour of the iconic Hollyhock House.
In city news, a heatwave continues—so public pools and beaches are extra busy today. Metro is running additional trains on major lines to accommodate holiday crowds. Watch out for lingering disruptions in Studio City following Friday’s immigration operation, which made headlines and heightened community alerts[3].
For must-do activities, consider:
- **A Hollywood Sign walking tour** early in the day to beat the heat and snag iconic city views[4].
- **Surf lessons in Venice Beach**—a favorite for visitors and locals alike, offering breezy Pacific vibes.
- Explore flavors at the **626 Night Market** at Santa Anita Park, where more than 250 street food vendors create a true culinary adventure[2].
Local tip: If visiting outdoor markets or beach boardwalks, bring **cash and a reusable water bottle**—many pop-ups are cash-only and hydration is a must with today’s high temps.
Did you know? The **Griffith Observatory**, a city classic, is free to visit and offers panoramic views of LA—ideal for a sunset wind-down.
Looking ahead to tomorrow: the weekend offers a **free reggaeton concert** with Ivy Queen at Pershing Square and the thrilling Dodgers vs. Padres game at Dodger Stadium. Stay tuned for more can’t-miss recommendations on “Things to do in Los Angeles”—your daily guide to adventure in a city that never slows down!

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.
