Virtual literary events rule the week and a classic tamaleria opens a new brick-and-mortar location.

Get your pop art fix. Catch Atom Egoyan's latest movies, a thriller. Attend a virtual ball with the LGBTQ+ community. Learn how to dance in the Bollywood tradition. Listen to John Sayles read from his new book. Indulge in one of the burger's many variations.

Hold the bug spray! Summer camp activities move online. The Academy presents a family-friendly animation panel. Writer Colson Whitehead sits down for a chat.

With fireworks shows cancelled, beaches shut down and bars closed, you might think the holiday weekend's sizzle has fizzled. Not entirely.

Catch a drive-in flick or a drive-in concert. Check out a panel discussion on "artivism." Scratch your true crime itch with two new Golden State Killer releases. Dive into the world of Cantopop star Denise Ho.

Watch Indian indie films. Soak up all the music at Questlove's annual Roots Picnic. Sip a martini in old school style at Musso & Frank.

Drop in virtually for a 24-hour Global Queer Read-In. Attend a bicycle repair workshop. Take a road trip to a drive-in for a double feature.

Celebrate Juneteenth virtually or IRL. Peep the summer solstice at Stonehenge. Head to the drive-in for socially distanced cinema. Score Father's Day takeout deals.

Poets celebrate Juneteenth. The United in Pride film fest unspools online. Baron Vaughn and Open Mike Eagle launch a new show.

Take a break from the good, the bad and the ugly out in the world with a screening of pioneering queer cinema, a house music party, a radio race or the award-wining play Scraps.

If you want a bit of a mental break, here are a few online and IRL events to check out.

Watch the Dropkick Murphys play to an empty Fenway Park and Imogen Heap play from home. Plus, Glendale Pride, an online global film festival, galleries, dinosaurs, and more.
