We curate an L.A. weekend itinerary of the city's best concerts, culture and cuisine, every week, just for you.

Friday

Dance among the dinosaurs during the season's final First Fridays at the Natural History Museum. Tonight's event includes a food history talk with Jonathan Gold, a lecture on the link between food and natural history, a pop-up dinner with chef David Wilcox and music from Wild Belle.

Roll out a blanket and sip on wine atop Barnsdall Art Park during the kickoff of Friday Night Wine Tastings. Tickets to the fundraiser include pours from Silver Lake Wine, and you can throw in a few extra dollars for a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House.

Catch a free screening of Her during the final evening of Sci-Fi at Union Station. Watch the slick Spike Jonze flick from inside of Union Station's handsome ticketing hall.

Saturday

Let it all hang out as the World Naked Bike Ride comes to town on Saturday. Details about the "bare as you dare" ride will be released shortly before it kicks off, but expect it to pedal somewhere through the Eastside.

Peruse pop-up galleries alongside alfresco dining and live music at ARTsea. This seaside marketplace will take place at Marina Beach, the sole sandy cove in Marina del Rey's sheltered harbor, as well as its surrounding parking lots.

Indulge in delicious eats from more than 100 food vendors and award-winning restaurants as the LA Food Fest returns to the L.A. Colisuem. Don't forget to wear your stretchy pants to the all-inclusive tasting event.

Take a seat in San Pedro's historic Warner Grand Theatre for a pair of Last Remaining Seats screenings. Show up in the afternoon for a screening of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, or catch an evening showing of On the Waterfront.

Sunday 

Keep your clothes on and pedal your way between Glendale and Atwater Village as CicLAvia returns with a new route and bike-friendly fest between the two neighborhoods.

Partake in the annual LA Pride parade as the typically celebratory LGBTQ parade instead takes on the human rights-promoting #ResistMarch. The float-free march steps off at Hollywood and Highland at 8am and makes its way toward West Hollywood, where you'll find a festival at West Hollywood Park with headliner Brandy.

Catch some top-notch comedy sets for a good cause during the Downtown Women's Center Comedy Benefit. The fundraiser at the Cinefamily includes sets from Patton Oswalt, Cameron Esposito, the editors of Reductress and Bobcat Goldthwait. Brendon Small hosts.
