Best Activities To Do This Weekend In L.A. - July 1
There will be no shortage of activities on this holiday weekend in Los Angeles. Between the BBQs and themed parties, you are likely to be busy from beginning to end. However, if you are looking for something a bit different from the drinks and fireworks type of July 4th weekend, we chose a few great destinations for you to check out.
Golden Boy LA Fight Night: LAPD Vs. NYPD
Belasco Theater
1050 S Hill St.
Los Angeles, CA 90015
(213) 746-1606

The monthly event that fuses a Downtown LA party with some heart-pounding pugilism is back at the Belasco Theater with a bit of a twist. Rekindling an age old rivalry between East and West coast, the LAPD will pit their amateur boxers against the NYPD's amateur boxers in an effort to raise funds for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Headlined, as always, by some of the top prospects in professional boxing, athleticism will be on full display for our Friday night in Los Angeles.
Music at LACMA/Hancock Park
5905 Wilshire Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90036

Besides offering one of the largest art collections in the world, the LACMA puts on a summer concert series that is as meticulously curated as their art pieces. The Department of Music Programs, is a seven-time national winner of the ASCAP/Chamber Music America Award for Adventurous Programming and this season looks to be just as dynamic with performances boasting some of the world's best in everything from Latin to jazz music. This Saturday, LA's very own Boogaloo Assassins channel a West Coast delivery of the sounds of Spanish Harlem to celebrate the holiday weekend. A robust, authentic fusion of jazz, soul, R&B, and Afro-Cuban cadence anchor an ensemble that is wildly entertaining. Not that you need another reason to visit LACMA, but if you did, this is it.
See Grease Along With Fireworks
Hollywood Forever Cemetery
6000 Santa Monica Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90038

Even if musicals aren't a frequented category when scrolling through Netflix, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone that refuses to watch Grease. The Olivia Newton-John, John Travolta tandem works as timeless cinema and what better place to see the big screen duo than the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on a picnic blanket with some great food and drinks? The screening event is a classic piece of Americana and to cap off the festivities, fireworks will light up the night sky. Between the fireworks and the antics of the T-Birds on Fourth of July weekend, it just doesn't get any more all-American.
See A Great Fireworks Show!
Multiple Locations
What better way is there to celebrate America's independence than seeing a terrific fireworks show light up the sky? Today, plan on going to one of Los Angeles' Best Firework Shows.
