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

Friday

Interior design-lovers, unite, for the opening day of the WestEdge Design Fair. This market at Barker Hangar brings some of the best modern furniture and home accessories to the masses with designs from more than 150 exhibiting brands.

While you're in Santa Monica, lace up a pair of skates for the opening weekend of ICE at Santa Monica. Bundle up and glide around an ice rink just blocks from the beach as the rink celebrates its 10th season.

Ride the Metro all the way over to Union Station for the latest in their Film Noir series. Catch the 1949 film Criss Cross—which was partially shot at Union Station—screened inside of the train depot historic ticketing hall.

Saturday

Start your Saturday off at a Bitter Boozy Brunch. Author Brad Thomas Parsons leads this Italian liqueur-driven brunch at Highland Park Bowl with a special menu of amaro cocktails, Neopolitan-style pizzas, beer and bowling.

Take advantage of an entire month of low to no-cost concerts during Red Bull Sound Select 30 Days in L.A. Today's lineup includes a free festival from Stones Throw Records in Highland Park's Sycamore Grove Park, with performances by Common, Peanut Butter Wolf, J. Rocc and Dam-Funk.

Examine different approaches to figuration and self-representation at the opening of Creature. The latest free installation at the Broad includes more than 50 mostly post-'70s works from the likes of Leon Golub, Jenny Holzer, Jeff Koons and more.

Get up close and personal with some aircraft at Long Beach Airport's annual Festival of Flight. The free open house features food trucks, flying experts and a beer garden.

Find your fanciest fascinator or fedora for the Breeders' Cup. Cheer on your favorite horses as the celeb-studded championship race arrives at Santa Anita Park.

Sunday 

Make your way into the Santa Monica Mountains for Mercado Sagrado. This two-day nature-lovers' market is a Shangri-La of local artisans, essence readings and all organic everything held at the historic Paramount Ranch.

Get out a bow tie and suspenders, and pull together a parasol and pearls for Dapper Day at Disneyland. This old timey event hosts a fashion expo at the Disneyland Hotel, as well as a meet-up at Disneyland itself—where the afternoon can move from cutesy to overcrowded real quickly.

Learn from the best in the biz at Taste Talks. This three-day food festival comes to a close with a BBQ at Mack Sennett Studios, featuring music and food pairings (think DJ Mustard-inspired yellow cake ice cream from Van Leeuwen). 

Close out your weekend in Long Beach at ComplexCon. This world's fair-like assembly of cutting-edge brands, art, food and music wraps up with a concert from Snoop Dogg and 2 Chainz at the Long Beach Convention Center.
