Hollyhock House Lawn Party

Time Out says

Famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s first California design has been closed since the start of the pandemic, but the Hollyhock House is finally reopening for tours—and with a free lawn party to celebrate.

Self-guided tours resume on August 18 (Thu–Sat 11am–4pm; $7), but Barnsdall Art Park is throwing a proper party on August 20 (4–8pm) with free performances from the Bob Baker Marionette Theater (5, 6:30pm), music, crafts and—thanks to FORT:LA—100 free hot dogs on a first-come, first-served basis.

In case you’re curious, the Hollyhock House hasn’t just been left alone these past two-plus years (its second prolonged closure over the past decade): Conservation work was done on the East Hollywood-meets-Los Feliz house’s cast stone, art glass windows, woodwork and landscape elements, and Residence A, the adjacent Wright-designed guest house, also received some exterior and structural care, with interior and landscape work now underway.
