Looking for the best things to do in Los Angeles this weekend? Here are some events and activities to add to your list for this weekend.

You’ve got a choice: you can spend this weekend sitting around waiting for the Great Pumpkin or you can go out there and find real pumpkins at the Farmers Market Fall Festival, decorate pumpkins at One Colorado, and even race pumpkins at Manhattan Beach’s annual Pumpkin Races. Gourd got you down? Scare up some aquatic thrills at Cabrillo Aquarium’s Sea Scare or visit a Boo at the Zoo at the Orange County Zoo or the Santa Ana Zoo. You can’t go wrong with the new movie Ron’s Gone Wrong, especially since it's showing at the El Capitan. And if the weekend just will not be complete without the Great Pumpkin, you can find him on PBS this Sunday when It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown airs (the only non-subscription service showing of the special this year).
