Cabrillo Marine Aquarium
2025-12-06 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?

Mar Vista is your neighborhood Certified Farmers Market – selling the freshest fruits, flowers and veggies at their peak, directly to consumers. Straight from California family farms to your table. Bon appetit!
Begun in 1977, the Certified Farmers Market (CFM) program exempted farmers from prior packing, sizing and labeling requirements. According to the California Department of Food & Agriculture, this has a number of benefits to consumers and the agricultural community: CFMs —

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.

VENICE ELECTRIC LIGHT PARADE

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
2025-12-07 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.

TONIGHT- Culver City

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.

Adults with a standard adult library card in good standing will be able to check out a Chromebook kit at a participating library.

2. How do I check out a Chromebook kit?
Requests for Chromebook kits can be made using our online catalog or over the phone, like any of our other materials. At this time requests are site-specific and can only be placed at libraries offering the service (listed above). Call a library offering the service to arrange a same-day checkout, if kits are available.

3. When can I pick up my Laptop & Hotspot?

5. How do I return the Chromebook Kit?
Chromebooks must be returned in person to the owning library during Sidewalk Service hours. They cannot be returned in the bookdrop. They cannot be returned to any library other than the one where the kit was checked out. Please call the owning library to arrange a drop-off time and call again once at the library to alert staff. Staff will bring out a box labeled Laptop Return to the Sidewalk Service table. You’ll be instructed to remove all items – the Chromebook, the wireless hotspot, and both charging cables – from the carrying case. Put the case into the box first, on the bottom, and then put all other items in on top. Staff will check the box to make sure all items are inside and that they look fine. All items will be quarantined for 4 days and confirmed to be working properly before being checked in. Staff will contact you if there are any questions or concerns. Please remember that the loan will still show on your account until the quarantine and check-in process is complete.

6. Are there late fees?
Late fees will be assessed the same as all other library materials. The Chromebook will become disabled once the loan period has ended.

7. Will I be charged if the Chromebook is damaged while in my possession? How much?
Yes, fees will depend on the type of damage.

8. Will my documents stay on the Chromebook after I return it?
All documents are deleted once the Chromebook is shut down. This will happen even during your 3-week checkout period, so we advise you to back up your documents on a flash drive or in Google Docs if you are working on something you want to keep.

Adobe Acrobat Reader
DocuSign

12. Will library staff provide an orientation on the technology when I check it out?
A basic instruction sheet will be provided explaining how to turn on and connect the equipment. If you have further questions, please call your local library.

13. I am not good with computers. Will Library staff help me use the Chromebook or answer technical questions?
Library staff is able to provide basic help with your computer—like how to turn it on, connect the wireless hotspot, or how to locate programs. For help, please call your local library.

Monday Night Jazz - Lighthouse Cafe Hermosa Beach

EVERY MONDAY – Hermosa Beach
Live music is back! We have an amazing lineup, stop by and have a listen! Join us every Monday for a smooth Jazz Jam Session with Jacques Lesure at The Lighthouse Cafe!

Happy Hour is Monday-Friday 4:00 pm-7:00 pm!

The Lighthouse Cafe is a Great Location for Special Events!

30 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254

A restaurant called “Verpilate’s” was built a short walk from the ocean at 30 Pier Avenue in 1934, and it was converted into “The Lighthouse”, a bar, in 1940 (“Café” was added to the official name only when the business was sold in 1981). The club first began showcasing jazz music on May 29, 1949, when owner John Levine permitted bassist/band leader Howard Rumsey to start a recurring Sunday jam session on a trial basis. The experiment was a success. Rumsey became club manager soon after and put together a house band called the Lighthouse All-Stars.
While the club also hosted visiting groups, the Lighthouse All-Stars became a noted ensemble in its own right, which had among its guest musicians Chet Baker, Gerry Mulligan, and Miles Davis. The longest-running members of the Lighthouse All-Stars were Bob Cooper (tenor saxophone), Conte Candoli (trumpet), and Stan Levey (drums).

West Coast jazz stalwarts Shorty Rogers, Richie Kamuca, Bill Holman, Bud Shank, Shelly Manne, and Jimmy Giuffre were also regulars in the early days. Max Roach was the regular drummer for a while in 1953. The club also became an important venue for recordings; Art Pepper, Lee Morgan, Cannonball Adderley, Mose Allison, Ramsey Lewis, Art Blakey, Charles Earland, Grant Green, Elvin Jones, Cal Tjader, the Modern Jazz Quartet, The Three Sounds, the Jazz Crusaders, and Joe Henderson all made recordings there.

“The Lighthouse” sponsored an inter-collegiate jazz festival in the late-1950s, and the competition’s winners included Mike Melvoin and Les McCann.
John Levine died in 1970 and Rumsey left “The Lighthouse” in 1971 to open the “Concerts By The Sea” jazz club in nearby Redondo Beach. From the middle of the 1990s, jazz slowly began to come back to the club.

Getty Center Central Garden
2025-12-09 10:00 - 17:30 | CA
ADMISSION IS FREE – PARKING IS NOT- Sepulveda Pass
Perched atop a hill overlooking Los Angeles, the Getty Center is a renowned museum housing a vast collection of art. But beyond the grand galleries lies a hidden gem: Getty Center Robert Irwin’s Central Garden, a captivating fusion of art, nature, and light. This four-acre masterpiece is not merely a backdrop for the museum; it’s an artistic experience in itself, inviting visitors to connect with the beauty of the natural world.

A Canvas of Light and Landscape
Renowned artist Robert Irwin envisioned the Central Garden as a living sculpture. Opened in 1997, the garden transcends the traditional notion of landscaped spaces. Here, the focus is on the interplay of light, water, and meticulously chosen plants, creating a dynamic and ever-changing environment.
Immerse Yourself in Light and Shadow:
As you enter the Central Garden, prepare to be enveloped by a symphony of light and shadow. The garden is designed to capture and manipulate natural light throughout the day, creating shifting patterns and textures. Walkways meander through the space, each turn revealing a new interplay of light on the foliage and water features.
A Celebration of California Flora:
The Central Garden is a love letter to California’s native plants. Lush greenery, vibrant wildflowers, and mature trees create a diverse tapestry of textures and colors. The careful selection of plants not only adds visual interest but also reflects the surrounding Californian landscape.
Water as a Guiding Element:
Water plays a central role in the Central Garden’s design. A cascading stream winds through the space, creating a soothing sound and a shimmering reflection of the sky. A central pool serves as a focal point, its still surface mirroring the ever-changing light and clouds above.

A Space for Contemplation and Connection
The Central Garden is more than just a visual spectacle; it’s a place for introspection and connection with nature. The serene atmosphere invites visitors to slow down, disconnect from the outside world, and appreciate the beauty of the natural world around them.
Find a Quiet Corner:

THE HAMMER MUSEUM
2025-12-09 11:00 - 20:00 | Hammer Museum, 10899 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA, 90024, United States
FREE FOR GOOD! Westwood Village
The Hammer Museum champions the art and artists who challenge us to see the world in a new light, to experience the unexpected, to ignite our imaginations, and inspire change.

The Hammer understands that art not only has the power to transport us through aesthetic experience but can also provide significant insight into some of the most pressing cultural, political, and social questions of our time. We share the unique and invaluable perspectives that artists have on the world around us.
A vibrant intellectual and creative nexus, the Hammer is fueled by dynamic exhibitions and programs—including lectures, symposia, film series, readings, and musical performances—that spark meaningful encounters with art and ideas.
And through our unwavering commitment to free admission and free public programs, the Hammer is open for all and FREE FOR GOOD.

A BIGGER, BETTER HAMMER MUSEUM

If oil magnate Armand Hammer were alive today, he might marvel that the museum he launched in Westwood before his death in 1990 has evolved into one of the most forward-focused art institutions in Los Angeles. After all, the museum was originally designed to house his fine collection of old-master paintings and drawings, as well as works on paper by Honoré Daumier and his 19th-century contemporaries.

But in the ensuing decades, as the art world has continued to evolve, so has Los Angeles — and so has the Hammer Museum, which is now a part of the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture. In 1994, UCLA assumed management and operations of the museum, and the Hammer kept its original purpose but also expanded its mission. Today, the Hammer has a wide reputation for innovation and for showcasing new artists.

New Contemporary Gallery

“L.A. has become a hotbed of contemporary art and artists,” says Ann Philbin, the museum’s director since 1999, “and the Hammer has become a premier institution where they are shown.”

4th-Floor-Offices

Under Philbin’s leadership, the museum has expanded its collections and programs, including establishing the Hammer Projects series of exhibitions and installations featuring local, national and international emerging artists. It also launched the Made in L.A. biennial, now in its fourth edition. Through these and other innovations, the Hammer has quadrupled its attendance to about 250,000 a year.

Lindbrook Terrace

Meanwhile, Occidental Petroleum, which occupied the adjoining building, relocated to Houston, Texas. So the Hammer has begun a major, multiyear expansion that will take the museum far into the 21st century.
Earlier this year, the Hammer announced a $180 million capital campaign. Almost half of those funds will be used to expand gallery and other public spaces, while the rest will go toward exhibitions, programming and an endowment. The museum has already raised more than $130 million, including $30 million from L.A. philanthropists Lynda and Stewart ’59, J.D. ’62 Resnick and $20 million from Hammer board chair Marcy Carsey.

Annex

The renovations and additions being designed by Michael Maltzan Architecture, who was commissioned in 2000 to create the museum’s 2003 master plan, include:
• A newly designed entrance at Wilshire and Westwood boulevards to maximize the museum’s visual presence at one of the nation’s busiest intersections. In the coming years, the museum will also benefit from a planned Metro Purple Line station across Wilshire.
• More than 10,000 square feet of additional exhibition space for contemporary art.
• New permanent collection galleries and a study room for the Grunwald Center Collection.
• 20,000 square feet of enhanced public spaces, including a new restaurant.
• A new and more accessible Hammer Store.

2nd Floor B Side

In all, the expansion will provide 60 percent more gallery space for exhibitions. The museum will remain open during construction, and admission will continue to be free. “We’re accessible to everyone, and that keeps people coming back,” Philbin says. “L.A. has been growing as one of the world’s most exciting cultural creative communities, and the museum has grown alongside it.”

Bookstore
HISTORY OF THE HAMMER MUSEUM
The Hammer Museum opened to the public in November 1990. Founded by Dr. Armand Hammer, former Chairman of Occidental Petroleum Corporation, the Museum was designed by architect Edward Larrabee Barnes. Financed by Occidental, the Museum was built adjacent to the Corporation’s international headquarters in Westwood. At that time, the Museum featured galleries for Dr. Hammer’s collections — old master paintings and drawings, and a collection of works on paper by Honore Daumier and his contemporaries — as well as galleries for traveling exhibitions. Dr. Hammer passed away in December 1990, three weeks after the opening of the Museum leaving many spaces unfinished.
In 1992, the Museum began negotiations with its neighbor, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), to assume the management and operations of the institution. In April 1994, the partnership with UCLA was finalized and the following year the University relocated its collections and the staff of the Wight Art Gallery and the Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts to the Hammer. The Museum also assumed responsibility for the Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden, located at the north end of the UCLA campus.
Henry Hopkins, then director of the Wight gallery and professor in the Department of Art, became director of the Museum until his retirement in 1998. In 1999 Ann Philbin was named director and has developed a strong and original institutional identity and built a national and international reputation for thematic contemporary exhibitions, scholarly historical exhibitions, and contemporary artists’ projects. During her tenure the Hammer has formed a Hammer Contemporary Collection which now holds over 2,000 artworks. In addition, Philbin has overseen substantial renovations to the museum’s building, including the completion of the 300-seat Billy Wilder Theater and museum café. With Philbin’s direction, the museum instituted the internationally acclaimed Hammer Projects, a series of more than one hundred contemporary exhibitions and installations featuring local, national, and international emerging artists. Philbin also created a series of dynamic public programs which are core to the Hammer’s identity and regularly feature many of the most influential authors, artists, and creative thinkers of our time.

6 Cognitive Benefits of VR For Kids

Research indicates that kids who play VR games that focus on training the brain have better fine motor skills and balance. In fact, they tend to have better mobility overall.
VR gaming improves spatial attention in children and gives them the ability to quickly locate a target in a field of distractors, which has proven to be a good predictor of driving ability.
Playing VR games, which often resemble actual real-world experiences, helps children translate the skills they learned in these educational VR environments to the real world.
According to recent research, children that play shooting games have increased vision capabilities. Scientists have found that the fast-paced games increase adrenaline and dopamine in the brain which helps maintain and improve brain health.
VR gaming increases mental flexibility and improves a child’s ability to quickly switch seamlessly between tasks with conflicting demands.
VR games are a great way to reduce stress and depression in children. Immersing in a VR game can result in short and long-term mood boost that helps them relax and unwind, decreasing the levels of stress a person may be experiencing.

Come to The Inglewood Public Library and “check out” their new selection of video games, for Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One, that you can borrow, just like you would borrow a book?
