To keep your weekend fun and lively, Patch has rounded up some entertaining events going on throughout Greater Los Angeles — from the Westside, South Bay, and beaches, through DTLA, the East Side, San Gabriel, and San Fernando valleys to the Ventura County line.
Some are free. Some have a fee. Whether you opt for an activity close to home or a mini-day trip, see what’s slated this weekend on Sunday, June 18.
PS.. I will make some commentary randomly about some of the events in the greater Long Beach area as well as other locations that I know well.
