GROOVE: The Jacksons -- Jermaine, Tito, Jackie and Marlon -- bring their 2012 "Unity Tour" to the Greek Theater tonight at 7:30. It'll be the first time these four members of the Jackson pop dynasty have played in LA in nearly three decades. Tickets are available on Ticketmaster and range from $30 to $110.
ART: LACMA opens its new exhibit -- The Sun and Other Stars: Katy Grannan and Charlie White -- today. The exhibit showcases the works of photographers Grannan and White, who seek to map the "fragility and resilience of individuality in Western culture" with "unflinching portraits." Grannan takes spare photos of stangers, whereas White takes "casting call" shots of youth. LACMA is open today from 10am to 7pm and admission is $15.
STREET FAIR: Need some summer block party atmosphere this weekend? Head down to Hollywood Blvd. between Vermont and Hillhurst in Los Feliz for the 19th Annual Los Feliz Village Street Fair. Expect plentiful food, drink and shopping from local vendors and restaurants, as well as live music on two stages. It's free and runs from 11am to 10pm.
