Deets: Experience Steven Spielberg’s Jaws (1975) like never before. Jaws: The Exhibition is the first-ever exhibition of this scale at the Academy Museum, focused exclusively on a single film, and the largest mounted exhibition ever for Jaws, the Oscar®-winning film from Universal Pictures. It celebrates the film’s 50th anniversary and revisits Jaws scene by scene, through original objects, behind-the-scenes revelations, and interactive moments. Curated with direct access to the collections from Steven Spielberg and The Amblin Hearth Archive, NBCUniversal Archives & Collections, and more, the exhibition dives deep into the film’s production history and explores its enduring impact.

Directed by Oscar winner Steven Spielberg, Jaws became the first summer blockbuster that forever changed the movie industry. The suspenseful adventure film, adapted from the novel by Peter Benchley, is centered on three main characters—Brody, Hooper, and Quint—who hunt a great white shark menacing the seaside town of Amity Island. The monumental success of Jaws belies uncertain beginnings, where production challenges arising from an unprecedented mechanical shark spurred creative problem-solving. Over five decades later, it remains clear that the tenacity of its cast and crew led to the realization of this beloved classic, one of the most influential films in motion picture history.  

Jaws: The Exhibition is organized by Senior Exhibitions Curator Jenny He and Assistant Curator Emily Rauber Rodriguez, with Curatorial Assistant Alexandra James Salichs. 

Hint for the Average Socialite: The exhibit is free with museum admission.

Deets: Sublime: Straight From Long Beach explores the legacy of Sublime, the influential Long Beach trio known for blending reggae, punk, ska, and alternative rock into a sound that helped define a generation.

Founded in 1988 by Bradley Nowell (vocals, guitar), Bud Gaugh (drums), and Eric Wilson (bass), their first self-produced album, 40oz. To Freedom and experimental follow-up, Robbin’ the Hood, set the stage for the breakout success of their self-titled third album.

However, on May 25, 1996, Nowell tragically passed away, and the eponymous album was released on July 30, 1996. Sublime was a massive hit, selling more than 9 million copies without any live shows, topping the alternative radio charts, and becoming a genre-defining, influential classic.

Nearly 30 years after Nowell’s passing, his son, Jakob Nowell, has joined original members Gaugh and Wilson onstage, with an undeniable musical synergy that has prompted overwhelming fan support and kickstarted a new chapter of the Sublime legacy.

This exhibit highlights the band’s lasting cultural impact and the vibrant Long Beach scene that shaped their sound.

Deets: All’Antico Vinaio is going deeper than sandwiches. Launching April 24, All’Antico Vinaio in Santa Monica will be launching Florence Underground, a new Los Angeles-exclusive, dinner series that transforms the space into a late-night Tuscan table, built around one of Italy’s most legendary dishes: bistecca alla Fiorentina.

Running on the last Friday of every month, the reservation-only experience is $65 per person, with an additional $35 for a wine pairing, is designed for groups of 2 - 10 and served entirely family-style. With just 30 seats available per seating, the format is intentionally intimate with shared plates and a menu that unfolds the way it would in Florence: abundant, unfussy, and anchored in tradition.

The evening begins with a spread of cured meats and cheeses alongside All’Antico Vinaio’s signature house-made schiacciata, before moving into the main event: a thick-cut, Tuscan-style T-bone, grilled over high heat and served rare to medium-rare, as it has been for centuries. No marinades, no heavy seasoning, just salt, olive oil, and technique. Classic sides and dessert follow, with optional wine pairings and a curated selection of beer, wine, and non-alcoholic offerings available.

At the center of Florence Underground is the bistecca alla Fiorentina itself, a dish with roots tracing back to the Renaissance and a defining symbol of Tuscan cuisine. It’s not just a steak, but a discipline: thick-cut, simply prepared, and never overcooked, reflecting a culinary philosophy where quality and restraint speak louder than excess.

Available exclusively at the Santa Monica location and offered on limited dates, Florence Underground marks the first time All’Antico Vinaio has introduced this immersive, dinner-only format in the U.S., shifting from its fast-casual roots into something slower, more intimate, and harder to access. It’s Florence, after dark.

The exhibition, featuring the works of established, mid-career, and emerging artists, will be free and open to the public at 910 Abbot Kinney in Venice with artwork available to view online, and bids accepted from May 8 through May 17. Proceeds from art sales will support the Clinic’s innovative and integrated approach to providing comprehensive health care services to more than 45,000 people across the Westside of Los Angeles, Inglewood, the South Bay and everywhere in between.

What began nearly 50 years ago as Venice Art Walk, a one-day fundraiser, has grown into Venice Family Clinic Art Exhibition + Auction—the longest running charity art exhibition in Los Angeles. This ten-day event honors Venice Family Clinic’s history and the extraordinary quality of the artists presented.

Alongside this year’s Signature Artist, Alison Saar, Venice Family Clinic Art Exhibition + Auction will feature a compelling selection of artists that exemplify the depth and diversity of the Los Angeles creative community. From internationally recognized pioneers to bold emerging voices, they will honor the past, spotlight the present and champion the future.

Thanks to the generosity of these pioneering artists, volunteers and patrons, Venice Family Clinic Art Exhibition + Auction has raised over $25+ million to provide vital health care to hundreds of thousands of Angelenos over the past four decades.

Deets: Big Bear Lake Maifest (pronounced My Fest) is a lot like her big brother, Oktoberfest, with all the same great, zany fun. She packs a big punch and the perfect party to kick-off the summer season in the high country. From specially brewed Maibock bier direct from Germany; to a very large traditional Maypole; German and American music; and a chance to qualify for an all-expense paid trip to the Hofbrau National Steinholding Championships in New York City!

While Maifest is scaled back version of her big brother, Oktoberfest, the fun is just as big and exciting. Like Oktoberfest, the entertainment is a mixture of traditional and new. During the day, expect to hear traditional Bavarian tunes complete with all the Ein Prosits and chicken dances you can handle!

After dark, things take a slight turn. The party moves indoors and amps up with DJ’s and live American bands.

The 9th Annual Big Bear Lake Maifest kicks off Saturday, May 16 with a special tribute to America’s Heroes (U.S. Military, law enforcement and firefighters).

Hint for the Average Socialite: The festivities continue the following two weekends for three more dates Saturday, May 23, Sunday, May 24 (Memorial Day Weekend), and Saturday, May 30.

Deets: Santa Monica is partnering with Goldenvoice, a division of AEG Presents and one of the nation’s leading producers of large-scale music events, to produce a new music and cultural festival on Santa Monica’s coastline in fall 2026. 

"Partnering with the city of Santa Monica to bring a yearly music festival to the Pier is a true honor for us,” said Melissa Ormond, Goldenvoice COO and COO of Festivals for AEG Presents. “We can't wait to bring world class music and artists to one of the most beautiful urban locations in the state." 

The inaugural festival concept envisions a single-day event with an estimated capacity of 30,000 to 35,000 attendees. Programming would include 12 to 15 musical artists, curated food and beverage offerings, festival and artist merchandise, art installations, partnership activations, and guest services such as restrooms, lockers, and water stations. 

Goldenvoice has indicated its intention to design a festival that aligns with the character of Santa Monica, encourages attendance by residents, and drives economic activity for local hotels, restaurants, and retail prior to and during the event. 

The concert would return in fall 2027 and fall 2028 as an annual event.

Deets: Mark your calendar. The LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be here in six short years. The LA28 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony is set for July 14, 2028, with the Games running through July 30, 2028, and the LA28 Paralympic Games will kick off August 15, 2028, and close August 27, 2028. 

The LA28 Games will be Los Angeles’ third time hosting the Olympic Games (previously 1984, 1932) and the first time hosting the Paralympic Games. The LA28 Games will represent the creativity, diversity and youthful energy of the Los Angeles region. 

The LA28 Games will use existing world-class stadiums and sports venues across the Los Angeles region, ensuring a sustainable and fiscally responsible event. The LA28 Games will feature more than 3,000 hours of live sport across 800 events in more than 40 sports. 15,000 athletes are expected to compete in the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles. 

The announcement of the LA28 Games dates comes as International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach and IOC member and LA28 Coordination Commission Chair Nicole Hoevertsz visited Los Angeles to review and celebrate LA28’s planning. During their time in Los Angeles, Bach and Hoevertsz met with LA28 leadership, community leaders and city officials, visited sports facilities and watched PlayLA youth sports programs made possible by the LA28 Games and the IOC’s $160 million commitment.

PlayLA launched in 2021 to ensure kids across Los Angeles have an opportunity to participate in low cost or no cost quality sports programming - including adaptive sports – in their neighborhood. The $160 million investment from the IOC and LA28 is the single largest commitment to youth sport development in California.

International Paralympic Committee President Andrew Parsons added, “All of us in the Paralympic Movement are incredibly excited about LA28. We know that the Paralympic Games are the most transformative event on earth. Everywhere they take place we leave a legacy of better accessible transport, more inclusive legislation, and a societal shift in attitudes towards persons with disabilities. In LA we are going to turbocharge that. Change starts with sport and these Games will be a vehicle to transform minds and lives. Change is already happening in local communities thanks to the fantastic work of the LA28 organizing committee. These six years are going to fly by and soon, in the entertainment capital of the world, we will with our friends in LA put on the most important show America has ever seen."
