Fun & Free Events This Weekend for LA Kids: Puppets & Spiderman Mar 31 - Apr 1
Wow. This has never happened before. We are sorry to report that there are no events this weekend. Not a one. It was bound to happen sooner or later, the random intersection of timing and chance and …
APRIL FOOL’S!!! Of course there are events this weekend. There are events up the wazoo (can we say that on a family-friendly site?). April is the month of Easter and Passover and Spring Break and Earth Day, and by gosh your basket will be full with fun, fascinating, and frequently free festivities. It’s time to emerge from our winter hibernation (hello, it rained last week!) and start enjoying all that Los Angeles has to offer.
For starters, how about a little camping? Southern California offers a wealth of family campgrounds, and naturally we’ve got the list.
His big day may not be until next week, but the Easter Bunny is already in town, meeting his fans and posing for pictures. Mommy Poppins has peered into his datebook and marked down the best Easter Bunny appearances.
Is your holiday less about jelly beans and more about matzoh? For those looking for Passover-approved bakery goods, we have the unleavened lowdown. (As a bonus, did you know that many Passover treats are gluten-free?)
Still looking for something to do? Can we recommend: Chris Burden's Metropolis II at LACMA? Museum of Flying at Santa Monica Airport? Or any of our top picks for the coming weekend…
