Things to do
- Sunrise Birdwatching Walk: Getting up super early? That’s for the birds! No, literally, go see the birds at this early morning nature walk in the Valley. You’ll learn how to identify and spot our local feathered friends, like the California Thrasher, on this experiential walk and talk with Diego Blanco, a birding expert at the Theodore Payne Foundation.
- A Week of French Cinema: For the past 15 years, Theatre Raymond Kabbaz has hosted some of the best contemporary films in French (with subtitles for the less Francophone among us). It’s a great opportunity to see films that have gotten acclaim but may never get a big release here. This year’s crop features films on a wide range of subjects hailing from Quebec, Congo, Switzerland, and Belgium as well as France, of course.

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.
