STEP BACK IN TIME- Venice Beach
The Venice Heritage Museum’s mission is to preserve, showcase, and nurture Venice’s diverse cultural heritage and history. The Venice Heritage Museum (VHM) gives visitors the opportunity to experience the stories of one of our country’s most culturally rich and innovative communities—Venice, a Los Angeles, California coastal community.
VHM is a place for discovery, displaying Venice’s accepting and progressive legacy and highlighting both well-known and untold histories. In the face of constant change, VHM aims to be an inclusive hub to celebrate the diverse cultures and unique facets of Venice’s culture and history.

Living Heritage

Rotating exhibitions and events showcase our in-house and community archives, representing Venice’s creative and socio-economically diverse histories. Collecting stories as local Venice community histories evolve and grow as we develop a hub for the future as well as the past.

Cultural Representation

Providing a permanent platform for Venice’s diverse communities, highlighting both well-known and untold histories.
Representing historical legacies through the words, images, and ephemera of community members themselves.

Strengthening Community

Improving the lives of local community members, other Angelenos, and visitors by deepening and enriching their understanding of Venice.

Serving as a common ground where all attendees can meet and gather to celebrate the Venice community’s unique culture.

Empowering Youth

Educating and empowering young people to take pride in their community, their family histories, and the stories of cultural innovators who have lived and worked in Venice
Nurturing youth to write the next chapter of the Venice history by becoming cultural stewards and storytellers in their own right

Public Knowledge Production

VHM is interested in the full range of the heritage of Venetians. This range includes inherited traditions of tangible and intangible culture, as well as contemporary activities, meanings, and behaviors that we draw from them.​
As part of fulfilling our mission, VHM preserves and highlights the cultural and collective stories of Venetians. Our work is to curate and collect stories, artifacts, memorabilia, and memories and through them tell the stories/histories of the Venice community. VHM is interested to preserve source materials and produce new knowledge that is accessible to the communities and institutions that seek access to them.

​Venice’s heritage is uniquely rich, as so many people in Venice come from different backgrounds. Over 115+ years, Venice has experienced cultural shifts and economic turbulence, and yet common threads are still found within the community. It is those shared commonalities that make all of us Venetians.

The Classic Car Show at Bob’s Big Boy, has been a tradition in Burbank for years. A buzzy retro scene begins to unfold as enthusiasts cruise in looking for prime spots where the tower sign’s red neon might reflect off their freshly polished hoods.

Classic Car Show at Bob’s Big Boy
The Classic Car Show at Bob’s Big Boy is presented by Downtown Burbank Partnership, a non-profit organization. The event is an exciting showcase for custom, celebrity, exotics, and classic cars, and motorcycles.
These automotive masterpieces will stretch along San Fernando Boulevard and adjacent streets in Downtown Burbank’s outdoor shopping-dining and entertainment district.
People say, “It’s American Grafitti come to life.” Big-block Chevy’s. Hot Rod Lincolns. Leave the Hybrid at home. Happy days are here again thanks to Bob’s Big Boy® and the Road Kings of Burbank. Weekly cars shows are a slice of Americana, but no place does them quite like Bob’s Big Boy®, where the food is hot and the cars are hotter.

You will see Vintage Classics
Brian Wilson, the genius behind the Beach Boys, showed up to take in the little deuce coupes he used to sing about. And Jay Leno, well he’s more than just a regular.
In tune with Downtown Burbank’s location in the heart of the entertainment industry, vehicles with a “Hollywood” twist are especially welcome — such as those appearing in film or television, or having a distinguished history of celebrity ownership.
Every Friday from 4-10pm, Bob’s Big Boy® Burbank hosts Southern California’s best antique car show. Come see why we’ve become the center of the car-crazed universe. Included will be family entertainment, music, vendor-booths and prizes.
The event will happen rain or shine.

AMIR’S GARDEN
2027-11-06 | Amir’s Garden, Mineral Wells Road & Griffith Park Drive, Los Angeles, CA, 90027, United States
OPEN YEAR ROUND- Griffith Park
The Trail to Amir’s Garden is a 1.1 mile heavily trafficked loop trail located LA’s Griffith Park. This shady rest stop and memorial garden features beautiful wild flowers and water-bearing, fire-resistive succulents interspersed with natives and memorial trees and plants. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, running, nature trips, and horses and is accessible year-round. It is rated as moderately difficult trail. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

The gardens are cared for by official volunteers since its creation in 1971. Amir’s Garden is considered a rest stop and not a dedicated picnic area, therefore it can’t be reserved for events. The nearest restrooms are located at Mineral Wells Picnic Area. Activities related to the care of a large garden may be taking place at any time, including watering. Amir’s Garden is a most pleasant place for a hike-in picnic, with a selection of picnic tables.

The History of Amir’s Garden
Amir Dialameh worked a steep hill in Griffith Park for than three decades with a pick and shovel and turned a scorched, barren landscape into a lush, shaded grove that is visited daily by a steady stream of hikers and horseback riders.
For thirty-two years, Dialameh worked in the garden most days of the week, hiking up a service road to the rugged Mineral Wells location. Over the years, he planted pine and jacaranda trees along with rose bushes, geraniums, oleander, and yucca that grew into the beautiful oasis it is today.
“…what you need first and foremost here is shade,” Dialameh explained in 1989. “That’s why I planted trees like the jacaranda. In ten years, this place will be covered with their branches.”
His words were prophetic. Today Amir’s Garden is nearly five-acres of shady rest stop for Griffith Park’s hikers and equestrians.
Dialameh first came to appreciate nature as a child during hiking trips in the Alborz Mountains of his native Iran. As his love of hiking and nature developed, so did his affinity for the United States of America.
“I was intrigued by the volunteerism that built this country… people doing things instead of relying on the government.” In 1963 while visiting his brother in Pittsburgh, Dialameh made the ultimate decision to immigrate and moved to the Los Angeles area.

Getting There

The hike to Amir’s Garden actually begins near one of Griffith Park’s larger picnic areas, Mineral Well Picnic Area. Find the dirt service road heading west from the intersection of Griffith Park Drive and Mineral Wells Road.
Walk straight through an immediate junction and follow the dirt road on a southwestern climb to Amir’s Garden. After a horseshoe bend in the road, and a quarter mile from the start, you will pass a water tower that is accompanied by broad views stretching beyond Griffith Park toward Glendale, the Verdugo Mountains, and San Gabriel Mountains.

Looking back down the trail
After less than half a mile, the trail arrives at Amir’s Garden where you’ll discover a pocket of tall sycamores arcing over a mountainside of verdant plants including succulents like ice plant and jade. There are a few picnic tables at the entrance of Amir’s Garden and others hidden throughout.

Amir’s Garden

Stroll through a web of footpaths and recharge your batteries in this refreshing Griffith Park retreat. With extra effort, you may continue up North Trail toward Mount Hollywood, Mount Bell and other peaks in Griffith Park. Otherwise, return the way you came for a satisfying 1-mile round trip hike. No fee or permit is required to hike to Amir’s Garden and dogs are welcome.

To get to the trailhead: Take the 5 Freeway to the Los Feliz Boulevard exit. Drive west on Los Feliz Boulevard to the first light and turn north on Crystal Springs Road. After 1.5 miles, turn left on Griffith Park Drive and drive 1.2 miles to the intersection with Mineral Wells Road. Turn left onto Mineral Wells Road and park immediately in the spaces along the road. The trail to Amir’s Garden heads west from the intersection of Mineral Wells Road and Griffith Park Drive.
Trailhead address: Mineral Wells Road & Griffith Park Drive, Griffith Park, Los Angeles, CA 90027

Travel Town Museum is “an outdoor museum which features an impressive collection of
Locomotives
Freight Cars
Cabooses

and passenger cars dating back to the 1800s. Travel Town is located in the northwest corner of Los Angeles, California’s Griffith Park. The museum’s collection primary focuses on the history of railroad transportation in the western United States from 1880 to the 1930s is, with an emphasis on Southern California and the Los Angeles area.

(16″ gauge) are:
The Courage – 2-6-0 Mogul
A 2-6-0 mogul built by Gerry Bowden in 1993. Sister locomotive to the Stanley Diamond.
This locomotive and its brother unit the Stanley Diamond were built in Oregon in 1993 to a design by our chief engineer, Gene Gustavson. They are modeled after the narrow gauge locomotives that worked the timber and mining areas of the West during the early part of the century. This unit has identical power as the Colonel Griffith.

he 1986 – Diesel Switcher
Diesel switcher built by Gerry Bowden in 1986.
A classic yard goat design, this locomotive is modeled after the EMD series of yard switchers. It is fitting that this is our heaviest and most powerful locomotive.

Pullman style – Six seat coaches
six seat coaches built by George Reddington in 1956 for Gene Autry’s Melody Ranch Special train.
Similar to the Pullman style coaches at GPS but longer, steel covers were added to these coaches in 1989 because Travel Town did not have a loading platform cover to protect the passenger seats from the sun. These coaches originally were a part of a set with a steam locomotive. The locomotive burned out its boiler and was sold in

Cabrillo Marine Aquarium
2027-11-06 12:00 - 17:00 | Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, 3720 Stephen M. White Dr., San Pedro, CA, 90731, United States
OPEN WEDNESDAY – SUNDAY- San Pedro
Cabrillo Marine Aquarium welcomes you to come discover the underwater world of Southern California.

Since 1935, we have been exhibiting Southern California’s rich diversity and adaptations of our local sea life through a combination of aquaria, interpretive displays and museum collections. Cabrillo Marine Aquarium’s Susanne Lawrenz-Miller Exhibit Hall, Exploration Center, Aquatic Nursery and Virginia Reid Moore Marine Research Library comprise a unique science education facility where visitors of all ages can pursue informal marine biology education, ecological awareness, and scientific research training. These complex topics are made fun and accessible by the creative and informative exhibits.

Susanne Lawrenz-Miller Exhibit Hall
The Susanne Lawrenz-Miller Exhibit Hall showcases three major environments: Rocky Shores, Sand and Mud, and Open Ocean Ecosystems. Explore interpretative and live exhibits to learn about the many animals and plants that live in each habitat. From worms to whales – all are adapted to protect themselves, find food and reproduce.

Kelp Forests
The richest habitat along our Californian rocky shores is the kelp forest. Giant kelp is the largest and fastest growing of all seaweeds and forms the framework for the kelp forest community. It attracts and influences many other species of animals and plants within the forest. Later, when it tears loose as drift kelp, it provides large quantities of food for animals living on the seashore and ocean bottom.
Kelp bass, giant kelpfish, garibaldi, norris’ top snail, and kelp crabs are all common inhabitants of the kelp forest. Kelp anchors to the rocky bottom with a structure called the holdfast. The holdfast has many crevices and is home to many other animals such as spiny brittlestars and amphipods. The leaf-like kelp blades (also called fronds) provide a large surface area for photosynthesis. On the blades themselves, a bryozoan can grow rapidly and completely cover a kelp blade within 3-4 weeks.
Kelp forests are found along the west coasts of North and South America, the southern tip of Africa and Australia, and islands near Antarctica. Giant kelp grows best in well mixed, cool, clear ocean water. In southern California, giant kelp beds were common until the 1950s. Changes in water conditions and the near extinction of the southern sea otter, which resulted in a population explosion of the purple sea urchin, severely reduced the size and number of local kelp beds for several years. Due to restoration efforts, kelp forests have recovered along Palos Verdes in the last several years.

Mudflats
The mudflat habitat is an enclosed coastal area with fresh and saltwater saturated sediments. Mudflats appear barren but conceal a rich variety of life. Many animals depend on this fragile and threatened habitat. Commercially important fish, such as the California halibut, use this habitat as a nursery ground which provides protection and a rich source of food.
The area surrounding the upper part of the mud is called the saltmarsh and teems with plants. Marsh plants provide shelter and living space for other organisms. The breakdown and decay of these plants produce organic debris which is a rich food source for a variety of invertebrates, like fiddler crabs and amphipods. These animals are an attractive food source for the mudflat’s large bird population, including the willet and snowy egret. Over 100 species of birds reside in or visit southern California mudflats.
The highest zone is dominated by salt grass which can tolerate only the occasional tidal flooding that occurs at this level. The middle zone is characterized by pickleweed which is more tolerant of tidal flooding. The lowest zone teems with eel grass which is one of the few marsh plants that can grow completely underwater.
Visit the mudflat room at the aquarium to learn more about marsh plants and the many animals that depend on this important habitat.

Rocky Shores
The rocky shore is a difficult place to live, yet some of the largest and most diverse populations of marine plants and animals can be found here. Explore how these animals have many different adaptations to protect themselves and find food.
Seaweeds and microscopic plants produce the basic food of the ocean using the sun’s energy. Seaweeds then provide food for such grazers as snails, sea hares and urchins. In the rocky shore, sponges, sea squirts, mussels, fanworms and barnacles filter tiny food particles from the water. Sea anemones and their relatives are hungry predators. These animals, in turn, are eaten by the flamboyant nudibranch slugs and other snails.
The richest habitat along our Californian rocky shores is the kelp forest. Kelp grows up to two feet a day and provides food and shelter for many other plants and animals.
Hunters of the seashore capture their prey in different ways. Sea stars use hundreds of tube feet. Worms and snails may drill or harpoon their prey, while some crabs use powerful crushing claws.
While visiting the touch tank you can experience a variety of rocky shore marine life such as a sea star or a prickly urchin. The touch tank expert will teach you the names and special traits of the marine life as well as answer any of your questions.

Open Ocean
The vast open ocean and deep sea are home to delicate jellyfish, light-producing animals, and other organisms ranging from the beautiful to the bizarre.

Be sure to stop by the Sea Jelly Lab and see what’s growing in this open husbandry lab. Students, volunteers and staff are often seen working on a variety of projects here. You might even be shown baby jellies on the microscope monitor.
Shapes, colors, and behavior of the fish in the Fish Diversity Tank reflect where and how these fish live. See how sharks come in an amazing variety of sizes, shapes, and habitats and how some of the biggest sharks are gentle filter-feeders instead of ferocious predators.
The Channel Islands are major breeding grounds for many thousands of seabirds, seals and sea lions. Feeding and nesting habitats are displayed.
Whales and dolphins, descended from land mammals, are the largest and most intelligent animals of the ocean. The lives of these big mammals are examined in special exhibits on feeding, a video of various cetaceans, displays of whale and dolphin skeletons, and recordings of whale sounds

Our marine life is all from Southern California. Want to see some of them and learn more?

Bring fresh, high quality goods from producers and create a diverse market.

Give consumers opportunities to meet the farmer and learn how their food supply is produced.

Provide a great opportunity for small farmers to market their products without the added expenses of commercial preparation. This increases their net income and makes it possible for them to stay in business.

Offer a flexible marketing alternative without disrupting other produce marketing systems.

There are approximately 800 Certified Farmers Markets in California and approximately 2,500 certified producers. Of these markets, 50% are year-round markets. The balance are seasonal, generally operating from April through October.

EVERY SUNDAY AT SUNSET @ The Venice Sign
Marcus Gladney created the Venice Electric Light Parade to bring together bike enthusiasts who love to light up their bikes and set out into the night along the beautiful Venice Beach boardwalk. Got a fancy two wheeler? Perhaps a chromed out, spoked up low rider with a banana seat and some Ape hangers? Maybe even a three wheeler trike with a sick ass sound system? A custom beach cruiser with enough LED’s to light up LAX? Whatever your jam, you will be in good company at the VELP!

“We are a group of Bicycle fanatics who ride every Sunday at Sunset in Venice Beach promoting Bicycle Safety. Come join us for the Electric Light Parade must have safety lights and wheel lights will be available for purchase. We meet every Sunday at Sunset, at Windward Plaza on the Boardwalk, down from the World famous Venice Sign.” The group travels up the Venice Bike Path to the Venice Pier, in Marina del Rey at Hinano’s Bar.

Venice Beach, which served as a US hippy hub of the 1960s, is now seeing dozens of locals cruising its boardwalk late at night with brightly glowing rides.
The bicycle enthusiasts say they fit right in with the hundreds of performers, artists and musicians that already call Venice Beach home.

This event promotes Bicycle Safety at Night. As much as 100 people show up each Sunday night for a chance to join the community for few hours of fun. Meet new people! Have some fun! Everyone welcome! All ages, all bikes.

Venice Run Club
2027-11-07 18:30 - 20:00 | The Kinney Hotel, CA, United States
EVERY WEEK, EVERY RUN, EVERY BODY- Santa Monica & Venice
The Venice Run Club is the heartbeat of Venice. A community of runners here to better ourselves and our community. Come run with us.
48 for Change
With the combination of a global pandemic and civil unrest around racial injustice, June of 2020 set the stage for important societal and human issues to finally come to light in a more permanent way. This was the same time that two friends, Justin and Tyler, decided they wanted to take action to make a difference in the injustices and inequality we see in our communities.

The week of George Floyd’s passing, Justin called Tyler voicing his frustration from Floyd’s murder and subsequent reactions, and they joined forces to do a running challenge that very weekend that entailed running 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours. A GoFundMe was set up to collect funds from friends and family throughout the running challenge to donate to help support racial justice.
What started as a way to take the mind off of the pressure cooker of injustice resulted in a massively successful and attention-grabbing fundraiser, and eventually turned into a 501(c)3 nonprofit, still strong and growing today: 48 For Change.
Aside from fundraising and donating, Justin found that the community that gathered to run that weekend was something special, and needed its own spotlight. A place where anyone can come and simply run with a group of good people. Venice Run Club was born.
Nearly two years later, we have grown into a strong group of 200+ runners, given back $100,000 and over 1,100lbs of clothing to the LA community, guided over 40 runners to completing their first marathon, and become On’s first-ever sponsored run club in America.
Come make friends, break a sweat, and get to know the city in the best way possible: by running its streets.

Hot Club of Los Angeles at Cinema Bar
2027-11-07 21:00 - 23:30 | The Cinema Bar, 3967 Sepulveda Blvd, Culver City, CA, 90230, United States
TONIGHT- Culver City
Looking for a swinging good time on a Monday night? Look no further than The Cinema Bar in Culver City, where the Hot Club of Los Angeles takes the stage every week at 9:00 pm!

Hot Club of Los Angeles, hailed by Jackson Browne as “an LA treasure”, is a nuevo Django ensemble that showcases eclectic arrangements of gypsy jazz-based instrumentals, vocal numbers sung in French, Roma, and Russian, straight ahead jazz repertoire, a unique blend of film music selections, and its own gypsy jazz-inspired originals.
HCLA was founded in 2011 as a gathering of local established musicians with backgrounds in country, jazz, folk, blues, and world music to perform the repertoire of Belgian guitar virtuoso Django Reinhardt (1910-1953). Reinhardt pioneered the hybrid genre now known as gypsy jazz, popularizing it with his Quintette du Hot Club de France in 1930s Paris.

The ensemble’s popularity has spread from its acclaimed Monday night residency (est. 2011) at Culver City’s Cinema Bar, to dance nights at upscale venues such as Clifton’s Brookdale Ballroom, DjangoFest 2021 in Las Vegas and the 2021 Festival of Arts of Laguna Beach along with many other events where the band’s up-tempo swing, acoustic shredding and dapper presentation are de rigueur.
