Cheers to the weekend (especially since it’s a long one!) We hope you’ll join us for our first major event of the year, but there is plenty happening throughout L.A. too. We’ve selected our top five picks below. TGIF!
Asian American Expo 2015
It’s the Pits! Party (Jan 15): The La Brea Tar Pits turns into party central tonight at the “It’s the Pits!” party. Groups and individual artists take over the museum grounds for film screenings, dance and music performances and the Ice Age Encounters exhibit, educating guests about the extinct animals that once roamed Los Angeles more than 10,000 years ago. The event is free to the public. For more info visit tarpits.org.
Asian American Expo (Jan 16-17): The 35th annual Asian American Expo kicks off our 2016 event season and we couldn’t be more excited! This year’s Lunar New Year celebration will be bigger than ever, with thousands of food and shopping vendors, live entertainment in and around our expo halls, eating contests, Anime Impulse, craft beer and a fashion show. The activity is non-stop and we’ll be covering it on the blog. We would love to have you join us! Visit aaexpo.com for hours, admission prices and programming.
