Things to do

Got a case of the Mondays? Make it your new favorite night to check out a range of events happening in SoCal, like this one:

  • Metro Art x Silkroad Present: Railroad Roots: Members of Silkroad — the ensemble that fosters cultural collaboration — along with Artistic Director Rhiannon Giddens, perform at Union Station in a night of stories and song. The ensemble has embarked on its American Railroad tour, stopping in locations with significant connections to the U.S. Transcontinental Railroad. The shows tell the stories of the immigrant laborers whose contributions have largely been erased from history. The night ends with a Q&A with Giddens and author Lisa See.

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

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.

Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.

We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.

No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.

Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.

Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
