One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership today.

Hola, I’m Brian De Los Santos, the host of How To LA, back again.

I know many folks are ready for their lattes and autumn, but I’m not ready to let go of my summer vibes. (I’m a Leo.) So for this weekend’s picks, I’m serving some sunshine for y’all.

Please, please, please 😉 consider rollerblading on a rooftop if you love pop girly Sabrina Carpenter’s music. A mole festival this weekend will feature tastes from all over Mexico, particularly Oaxaca and Puebla — a must-try for food enthusiasts. And there's a pool party for LGBTQ cuties in downtown L.A. with a view of the iconic skyline (one of my favorite sights) for a little twirl and dance.

Cheers, friend!

    This has my mouth watering as I type this because I love mole. There are so many regional takes on the pre-Hispanic dish — spicy, sweet, red, yellow — and they’re all on a platter at this festival.
