Despite the return of rainy days in Southern California, plenty of events are still happening around the region.
Gamers might be interested in a Street Fighter 6 soundtrack concert in Hollywood. If you're more art-inclined, you can learn about needle felting in Long Beach during a Black History Month event. After the storm clears, nature lovers can enjoy a walk with the Friends of the Los Angeles River to learn about the critters and terrain right here in our backyards. And if you feel like venturing to Orange County, consider checking out the Downtown Anaheim Certified Farmers Market!

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.
