Pagan Art Camp @Beacon Arts
If you're one of the many grown ups who still loves to get crafty, you might want to head to Beacon Arts this afternoon for their Pagan Art Camp "Ghost Stories "workshop, a companion to a current art exhibit there. You'll create work directly with Ghost Stories artists and materials they provide. Explore the relationship of craft and fine art in the mysterious context of Halloween. 1-4PM \ $10 materials fee.
Ghostbusters @The Egyptian
"Who you gonna call?!" This is a rare chance to see the 1984 comedy-horror (okay, mostly comedy) flick Ghostbusters, and via a 70mm print, to boot, at The Egyptian. Directed by Ivan Reitman the film involves Para-hacks Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd starting Ghostbusters, a company trapping ghosts, spirits and poltergeists for money. Before long, the slightly inept Ghostbusters are called on to save the Big Apple from a supernatural fate! 7:30PM. [Tickets]
Veggie Pride Rally & Parade
Say it loud: You're Vegetarian and Proud! If that's you, you might want to put on your favorite carrot, banana, or tofu costume and head to Santa Monica to celebrate in the Veggie Pride rally and Parade. Rally is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., which will include vendor booths featuring LA's top veg restaurants, cruelty-free shopping, and nonprofit organizations. Eat, drink, and be merrily educated while enjoying music and entertainment, noted speakers and special guests, and other VPP festivities. The parade runs from 2-4 p.m. @The Victorian (2640 Main Street, Santa Monica)

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
