What’s happening this week

Ready for another week of awesome local adventures? This week is serving up everything from mini concerts to ghost crafts, stroller fitness to teen comedy workshops (yes, really!). Whether you’ve got a tot ready to wiggle or a teen who thinks they’ve got “peak rizz” and can’t be bothered with family fun, we’ve got something for everyone.

The best part? Most of these events are either free or super affordable, because we all know parenting in LA is expensive enough 😅

Top Picks This Week

1. Mini Concert for Kids at Children's Book World (Saturday)

When: Saturday, Sep 27 at 10:30 AM
Where: Children's Book World, 10580 W Pico Blvd

There's something absolutely magical about live music designed just for little ears. This isn't your typical "sit still and be quiet" concert, it's an interactive musical adventure where your kiddo can sing, dance, and maybe even play along. Children's Book World knows how to throw a party, and their mini concerts are legendary in the neighborhood. Plus, you can browse their incredible selection of books afterward (because let's be honest, we all need more bedtime stories in our arsenal).

2. Family Zooga Yoga Class (Sunday)

When: Sunday, Sep 28 at 10:15 AM
Where: 11054 Washington Blvd, Culver City

Okay parents, how often do you actually get to stretch those tired muscles while your kids are entertained? Family Zooga is like regular yoga's fun younger sibling, expect giggles, wobbly poses, and zero judgment if your downward dog looks more like a confused cat. It's yoga designed for the whole family, which means your toddler's "creative interpretation" of warrior pose is not only welcome, it's celebrated.

3. The Craft Corner: Ghost Portraits (Wednesday)

When: Wednesday, Oct 1 at 4:00 PM
Where: Venice Branch Library, 501 S Venice Blvd

Halloween vibes are officially here, and the Venice Library is getting spooky in the best possible way! Ghost portraits sound perfectly mysterious and kid-friendly, think art meets seasonal fun without the scary stuff that gives little ones nightmares. Libraries are seriously underrated for family activities, and this craft corner series is proof that some of the best adventures happen right in our neighborhood.

4. Bundy Triangle Night Market (Friday)

When: Friday, Oct 3 at 5:00 PM
Where: Bundy Triangle, 1500 Bundy Dr

Night markets are pure magic for families, food trucks, local vendors, live music, and that special energy that happens when a community comes together. The Bundy Triangle Night Market has become a Friday tradition for so many Westside families, and for good reason. Let the kids run around, grab some dinner from the trucks, and soak up that weekend-is-almost-here vibe. It's community connection at its finest.
