Clearer skies are returning to SoCal. If you want to get out and about after hunkering down this week, we've got weekend events for you.
See Slum Village, J. Rocc, and more performers honor the hip-hop legend J Dilla during Dilla Day in Downtown Los Angeles. If you're seeking a Super Bowl party, then you might want to check out the scene at Candela La Brea: DJs, drinks, and a taco bar await. Plus, Jurassic Quest comes to Pomona, a pretty perfect combo of hands-on fun and learning about dinosaurs for kids.

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.
