The weekend is so close you can practically taste it. Here are the edible events going on in the next few days to keep you occupied—and sated, for that matter.
Marimekko Holiday Tablecloth Event: Saturday from noon until 5 p.m., you can custom make your own custom holiday tablecloth from Marimekko's iconic and adorable adorable printed fabrics at their flagship store in Beverly Hills. To boot, the price of the Finnish fabric is 25% off, meaning you can have your holiday table look super swank on the cheap. They also make great hostess gifts. You can find out more info here.
Kratfbeirfest: Beer geeks, take note: there's a two day craft brew festival going down this weekend in Torrance. There'll be more than 100 beers from 40 brewers on offer, plus German-inspired food courtesy of the host, Alpine Restaurant. Tickets are $52.50 for VIP, which includes a free T-shirt and early entrance; $32.50 for general admission; and $10 for designated drivers. (Better yet, take an Uber or public transportation.) The festival starts tonight at 7 p.m. on Friday and noon on Saturday. You can find out more info here.
