Best Things To Do Memorial Day Weekend In Los Angeles And Southern California: May 24 - 27

Welcome to the official start of summer, Best Things To Do readers!

It’s Memorial Day weekend and there are pools to swim in, parties to crash, music to get down to, and ships to board, so let’s get to it.

You have until 2025 to see the phenomenal Simone Leigh exhibit at LACMA and CAAM, but don’t sleep on this week’s opening party. There’s also a celebration for Pico Union Project’s tenth anniversary, Fleet Week events in San Pedro, new dinosaurs for dino-obsessed kids at O.C.’s Discovery Cube, and an outdoor screening of Almost Famous at the Rose Bowl.

For more to explore, visit LAist.com, where you can plot out your long weekend hike on the Park to Playa Bridge with our new series, LAist City Treks , get the first scoop on new food offerings at Dodger Stadium, and dive into the history of our beloved purple jacarandas (achoo!).
