We put together a list of our favorite things to do in Los Angeles this December to help you plan the perfect wintery itinerary, so check out our list of the best holiday activities and attractions.
Santa Monica Pub Crawl– You’ve walked, donated and volunteered all in the name of charity. Now, here’s your chance to drink for those in need. Gather your friends and join other do-gooders at the 6th annual Santa Monica Pub Crawl. A $15 admittance fee ($20 at the door), benefitting the Westside Food Bank, allows you to participate in one of four routes around Santa Monica to experience drink and food specials at some of the city’s best spots
Echo Park Craft Fair-Reserve a spot in your weekend for the latest installment of this Pinterester’s Utopia. Hosted at the 5,000-square-foot Mack Sennett Studios, the Echo Park Craft Fair returns, welcoming artsy Eastsiders for a feast of hand-dyed clothing and delicately concocted bath oils, one-of-a-kind ceramics, weavings, jewelry and beyond.
Cinespia Cemetery Screenings– It isn’t summer in LA until the first cemetery screening brings hoards of movie-lovers to Hollywood Forever, toting folding chairs, picnic blankets, snack spreads and lots of booze.
Monday night residencies at the Echo-It’s free music every Monday when sponsored, up-and-coming local bands call the Echo stage home for a one-month stint, honing their stage presence and giving various opening acts a chance at the spotlight as well
Grand Park New Year’s Eve LA-Grand Park (most well-known for its food truck gatherings, lunchtime yoga sessions and summertime concerts) promises to be one of the most family-friendly—and affordable—NYE destinations in the city for the fourth year in a row
