Weekend Festival Guide: Less Talk, More Walk
Art walks, Food fairs, fashion, and film. It's fall in LA, and for another weekend we can forget about our lack of playoff-worthy baseball teams and professional football and take advantage of our final three weeks of Daylight Saving Time. The fun begins tonight, so you best start the weekend now.
- Downtown Art Walk Thursday, Noon - 9 p.m.: On the second Thursday of every month, Angelenos stroll up and down Spring and Main streets, in and out of the open doors of two dozen or so of the coolest galleries you may not have known about. Try it sometime. MAP
- Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival, Thru Sunday: 11th annual event at the ArcLight. List of films here. MAP.
- BOXeight Fashion, thru Saturday: BOXeight took over the historic Los Angeles Theater last spring, and now it's time for more fashion reinvention with arts and music-tinged fashion parties at the beautiful St. Vibiana's space downtown. Price: $20 - varies. MAP.
