The DoLab's annual Valentines extravaganza is here again! Lucent L'amour - A Visionary Lovefest takes over the Shrine Expo Hall (and neighboring parking lot) this Saturday the 13th with a multimedia spectacular to stimulate the senses.
A night full of booty-bumpin' beats supplied by the likes of N.A.S.A., Bassnectar, and more will be complemented by the high-flying antics of the Lucent Dossier Experience, large-scale interactive installations, live mural painting, and performances by Fire Groove, The Wandering Marionettes, and Stilt Circus and more.

Now in it's fifth year, Lucent L'amour is prepared for more than 5,000 love-riddled revelers, so get your passes in advance or get there early.

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. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
