This day in history

On this day in 2019, a winter storm caused severe flash flooding in Orange County, closing Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach for a day.

Things to do

Consider giving back on this MLK day which is also designated as a National Day of Service. Then, head to the Skirball for a special celebration honoring the late civil rights leader.

  • MLK Day at Skirball: In celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the Skirball Cultural Center invites its visitors to see its This Light of Ours: Activist Photographers of the Civil Rights Movement exhibit. The exhibit showcases photos taken by movement insiders who captured Dr. King and other civil rights activists at the time.

Check out our full list of things to do this week.
