Best Things To Do This Weekend: Mar. 8 - 10
(
SPF STUDIOS
)
It’s Oscars weekend, so before you head out on some fun adventures, make sure you check the planned street closings if your destination is anywhere near Hollywood. If your weekend doesn’t include a night at the Dolby, we’ve got plenty more activities in store, from an art walk along Metro’s Red Line to a road runner race on Abbot Kinney to wine tasting in the Valley.
LAist.com has even more things to explore, including a look at L.A. landmarks being recreated in Minecraft and a free LAist-hosted Sites & Sounds event at the Huntington on Sunday.
