September is an interesting time in L.A.—even post–Labor Day weekend, while the rest of the country is sipping pumpkin spice lattes and welcoming fall, we’re dealing with a heat wave. So this month is still filled with summery events—think outdoor movie screenings, pop-up markets and block parties, as well as alfresco music and theater—but Halloween happenings are starting to pop up, too, from haunted houses to more family-friendly fare. You’ll also find so many fun festivals, dance parties and exciting exhibitions at the city’s best museums that you’ll (almost) forget to lament L.A.’s lack of seasons.
