Pacific Wheel On Memorial Weekend
2022-05-28 19:30, 2022-05-29 19:30, 2022-05-30 19:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, CA, 90401, United States
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND – Santa Monica Pier
The Pacific Wheel will be lit red, white, and blue on Friday, May 27 to Monday, May 30 in recognition of Memorial Day.
Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday each May in the United States as an opportunity to recognize military personnel who died in service. The national holiday is celebrated widely as an extended weekend and opportunity for family and friends to get together. Memorial Day is considered by some as the start of summer while Labor Day, the first Monday of September, marks the unofficial start of fall.
Pacific Park celebrates Memorial Day each year with a special light program on the Pacific Wheel with brilliant patterns in red, white and blue. The nightly program features an animated, waving American flag.
This special light program will run dusk (around 7:30 PM) to midnight on Friday, May 27 to Monday, May 30. The best views of the Pacific Wheel light programs are from the Santa Monica Pier boardwalk just west of the amusement park or on the beaches south of the Pier. If you can’t make it down for this special lighting event, you can always check out the lights on the Pacific Wheel viewing Pacific Park’s live-streaming webcams.

LAST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH- Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round Lot
Cars & Coffee Los Angeles is a Classic Car Show held at the Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round Lot #1, located at 4730 Crystal Springs Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90027. The Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round is a nostalgia-inducing gem that, much like Disneyland, is still enjoyed by the young and the young-at-heart decades after its inception. The small carousel, which is tucked away into a quiet corner of the park, served as Walt Disney’s inspiration for Disneyland. When his children were young, Walt, a Los Feliz denizen, took them to the merry-go-round on weekends. During one visit, while sitting on a bench watching his kids circle round and round, he was inspired to create a large scale gathering site that the whole family could enjoy. His dream was realized on July 17, 1955, when Disneyland opened to the public.

Classic Car Show with a little coffee and some amazing automobiles
Last Sunday of every month

Cars & Coffee Los Angeles was founded to bring together like-minded automotive, photography, and design enthusiasts. The events are very chill and welcoming to all car sorts. Our core group of regulars is composed of area locals who aren’t shy about sharing the neighborhood’s rich history.

La Canada Fiesta Days Parade & Run

MEMORIAL DAY- La Canada
La Canada Fiesta Days Memorial Day Weekend is a time of great excitement among residents and visitors to La Cañada Flintridge as the community gathers to celebrate, remember, and respect.
Maybe you have been one of the thousands who have enjoyed the Annual Fiesta Days and Memorial Weekend celebration in previous years. This weekend is the signature event for the city and is organized and sponsored by the La Cañada Flintridge Chamber of Commerce and Community Association.

Prior to La Cañada Flintridge’s incorporation in 1976 as a General Law City, several business leaders wanted to call attention to this wonderful area of the county, so it was decided to celebrate our Spanish heritage with a Cinco de Mayo festival. Once La Cañada Flintridge was incorporated, Fiesta Days was moved to Memorial Day weekend so that the number of days increased, and the number of activities expanded. Today, the celebration honors both our veterans’ sacrifice and our Spanish heritage and is known for unequaled family fun, food, fireworks, and a parade that draws thousands each year.

JOE WHEATLEY
Mr. Wheatley has worked with the original format of the bodybuilding shows at Muscle Beach Venice since 1999 and has been the promoter since 2002. Since that time he has advanced the competitions and has successfully introduced the Teen category, Figure, Bikini and for the 2012 season Men’s Physique. Record numbers of athletes have registered to compete, and come from all over the United States and as far away as Germany, France, Norway, Italy, Spain, Brazil and England to be involved in the notoriety of Muscle Beach.
Introduced in 2004, in an effort to promote and highlight a fit and healthy lifestyle, each Bodybuilding show is accompanied by a Fitness Expo. In 2004, Don Howorth, the first inductee into the Muscle Beach Venice Bodybuilding Hall for Fame was recognized at the Memorial Day Show. The Hall of Fame, founded by Mr. Wheatley, recognizes the contribution of athletes, fitness experts, historians and photo journalists to the sport of bodybuilding and the fitness industry. Each recipient has been honored with a Bronze plaque mounted on the famous Muscle Beach Weight Pen. To date a total of 52 individuals have been inducted and are acknowledged on the “Walk of Fame”. Lifetime Achievement awards have been presented to Joe Weider and Jack LaLanne – other inductees include Dave Draper, Joe Gold, Cory Everson, Mickey Hargitay, and John Balik.
During the 2005 season Mr. Wheatley expanded the Memorial Day show to a two day weekend event and then in 2008 a three day Sports Spectacular. Featured that weekend are Sumo Wrestling, Amateur Boxing, Martial Arts Demonstrations and Bench Press Competitions. On Memorial Weekend all branches of the Armed Services are incorporated into the event to honor the men and women who commit themselves to the freedom of the United States. The highlight of the Memorial Day show begins with a C-17 flyover – (the largest plane in the U.S. Air Force) from March AFB. As the pilot says “LOW, SLOW and DIRTY”. Branches of the Military are represented with static equipment displays and music from a variety of Armed Forces Bands.
In 2009, Joe Received a Proclamation from the City of Los Angeles, acknowledging his contribution to Muscle Beach Venice. In 2011, he received a Certificate of Congressional Commendation from Congresswoman Jane Harman. In 2012, he received a State of California Senate Certificate of Recognition from Senator Ted Lieu. All of these awards recognize his work and engagement of the community. In conjunction with the Mission of Muscle Beach and Joe Wheatley Productions, Joe is quick to emphasize his commitment to the athletes and his keen interest in the development of the sports. Athletes and sponsors recognize Mr. Wheatley’s shows as a successful, well organized and positive experience. Mr. Wheatley provides a value packed show that attracts large audiences to the event. “I spend a lot of time at Muscle Beach and am honored to have the opportunity to further it’s world wide recognition.

The Broad Collection
Eli and Edythe Broad have been building their collection of postwar and contemporary art over the last 50 years. With a belief that the greatest art collections are built when the art is being made, the Broads took to collecting art of their own time.
The Broad is home to 2,000 works in the Broad collection by more than 200 artists, and is one of the world’s leading collections of postwar and contemporary art. The collection features in-depth holdings of influential contemporary artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Mark Bradford, Jasper Johns, Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger, Yayoi Kusama, Kerry James Marshall, Julie Mehretu, Takashi Murakami, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, Cindy Sherman, Cy Twombly, Andy Warhol, and more, plus an ever-growing representation of younger artists.

View Our Collection Here

In Under the Table, 1994, the viewer is both in the world of imaginary giants and in the world of remembered childhood. Fusing Alice in Wonderland with the Duchampian tradition of the readymade, Artist Robert Therrien constructs a doppelganger from an everyday object, both displaying his visual wit and actualizing literary or imaginative fantasy in three-dimensional space. The table exudes an extraordinary aura, compelling one to walk underneath the table and conjuring the physical memory of being under the table of one’s childhood home. Complicated and powerful, the work offers fresh ideas of what a table, sculpture, and memory can mean.

Using the recognizable form of a balloon twisted into the shape of a dog, Koons has frozen a moment in time, exaggerating both scale and material.
Balloon Dog (Blue) is literal and abstract. When standing close to it, one’s own distorted reflection bends around smooth pert curves.

General Admission is Free
All visitors must reserve timed tickets in advance. Some exhibitions and events carry a separate charge.

Kibitz Room

Adjacent to Canter’s dining space is the Kibitz Room, a 1961 addition that is also a cocktail lounge. It is a particularly congenial haven for music, featuring a full bar and small stage. Every evening the Kibitz Room is jamming with local bands and has become something of a Los Angeles scene.
Back in the 60’s, bands like The Doors and The Byrds along with Frank Zappa and Arthur Lee would meet at Canter’s to exchange stories, girlfriends and eat. By the 90’s informal star-studded jam sessions began taking place in the Kibitz Room on Tuesday nights where groups would schmooze, and kibbitz. Many, including Joni Mitchell, Rick James, Slash and members of Guns N’ Roses, The Wallflowers, and members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, have come to the Kibitz Room to hang out, sing, play, and most importantly to eat and drink. Now there is something going on in the Kibitz Room every night of the week. Most nights turning into jam sessions by midnight. Did you know that the word ‘Kibitz’ is the Yiddish word for offering friendly advice or wisecracking?

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.
