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.

Unapologetic and arrogant, a Roman general-turned-presidential candidate is expelled from his city for his tragic contempt for his people, sending him on the warpath to revenge. Enemies become friends, and the trust between them balances on a knife’s edge. Brutal and surprisingly funny, Indie Shakes’ premiere of Shakespeare's most daring political thriller examines the cycles of power and the flawed people who are called to lead. Free in Griffith Park.

Starting in August, see A Comedy of Errors.

August 5 — September 6
Wednesday — Sunday @ 7PM

Deets: Gentle Giants by Raphaele Cohen-Bacry is on display at the Adams Square Mini Park Gas Station from Monday, July 13 - Friday, October 2, 2026.

Gentle Giants presents a gathering of tall, hand-formed characters who share the space with a calm, watchful presence. Each giant stands as part of a loose “family,” connected not by a single story but by a shared spirit. Accompanying the giants are smaller, lighter forms – suggestive of birds – scattered throughout the gas station. Together, the figures and birds create a gentle ecosystem, one that feels alive but unhurried, inviting viewers to pause and take it in. Gentle Giants offers an experience rooted in reassurance and imagination. The exhibit invites children and adults alike to encounter scale with ease, to find friendliness in the unfamiliar, and to see how even the simplest materials can hold a sense of magic.

Gentle Giants is a suspended installation of collaged paper figures all created from black paper and painted fragments. Collage guides Cohen-Bacry's work as both technique and philosophy - embracing difference, reclaiming discarded materials, and building forms that feel vulnerable yet resilient.

An artist reception will be hosted by the Adams Square Neighborhood Association on Sunday, July 19, 2026, at 11:00 AM. Adams Square Mini Park Gas Station is located at 1020 E. Palmer Ave., Glendale, CA 91205.

Deets: Lotte Home Shopping, a South Korean TV and online home shopping retailer, today announced a partnership with KOTRA to support the U.S. market entry of 43 domestic small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the beauty and lifestyle sector. From July 17 to August 15, the company will operate the industry's first K-beauty and lifestyle pop-up store at The Grove, a premier shopping destination in Los Angeles. 

This event is part of the "Overseas Expansion Support Program for Distribution Companies" led by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and KOTRA. Lotte Home Shopping was selected as a participating company this past April in recognition of its track record supporting the overseas expansion of domestic SMEs into Europe, Southeast Asia, and other regions since 2016. 

Accordingly, the company will operate a K-beauty and lifestyle pop-up store for approximately one month at The Grove, a premium shopping center located in the heart of Los Angeles, supporting the U.S. market entry of 43 outstanding domestic SME brands. Through this experiential pop-up, which allows direct engagement with local consumers, the initiative aims to raise brand awareness and provide an opportunity to gauge consumer response and market potential in the United States. 

Los Angeles is a region where Korean Wave consumption is thriving, centered around K-pop and K-beauty, with a dense concentration of Gen Z and millennial consumers familiar with Korean culture. The Grove, in particular, is home to global beauty and fashion brands such as Sephora, Zara, REVOLVE, Brandy Melville, and Alo, making it one of LA's premier shopping destinations and an ideal venue for K-brands to showcase their competitiveness directly to local consumers. 

The pop-up is designed under the theme of "LIVE SEOUL," inviting visitors to experience today's Seoul through EESEOL, a curated lifestyle platform that introduces emerging Korean beauty and lifestyle brands while connecting global consumers with the latest trends from Seoul. 

The venue is divided into two key zones. "Seoul Beauty" on the ground floor features head-to-toe beauty categories, including skincare, makeup, haircare, body care, and beauty devices, allowing visitors to discover their own "Seoul Style." 

On the second floor, "Seoul Now" brings together K-pop, K-food, and interactive lifestyle experiences inspired by the energy of contemporary Seoul. Through curated brand discovery, hands-on product experiences, and exclusive shopping opportunities, visitors can explore the diversity and innovation of Korea's emerging beauty and lifestyle brands. 

The program will also feature a range of events in collaboration with local influencers to promote K-brands, offering more than a simple pop-up store—providing real business opportunities for domestic SMEs to develop local sales channels and establish a foothold in the U.S. market. 

This is both a venue where 43 domestic SME brands will meet U.S. consumers directly and an opportunity to confirm the global competitiveness of K-beauty and lifestyle brands. As this is a firsthand opportunity to observe K-brands' U.S. market entry strategy, local consumer response, and global market potential, we kindly ask for your interest and coverage.

For more than two decades, the festival’s organizers have poured their heart and soul, along with countless glasses of wine, into creating a welcoming and memorable experience for wine enthusiasts of all levels. The move to this stunning new venue means fresh opportunities to bring people together for a dynamic weekend that blends exploration, education, and philanthropy in an approachable and lively atmosphere.

Hollywood glamour meets equestrian tradition at the new home of LAWineFest. Nestled on beautiful, tree-shaded grounds bordering Griffith Park, the Los Angeles Equestrian Center (LAEC) offers expansive open space, natural shade, sweeping mountain views, and a relaxed outdoor setting ideal for wine lovers. This secluded yet centrally located destination provides a picturesque backdrop just minutes from the heart of LA.

Home to numerous dressage, polo, and competition events, and more than 500 beautiful horses, the LAEC attracts visitors who appreciate life’s finer luxuries, including fine wine and dining. Centrally located between the 5 and 134 Freeways, the venue is easily accessible from Los Feliz, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Sherman Oaks, Encino, Pasadena, and surrounding communities, making it a convenient and captivating venue for LAWineFest.

LAWineFest will also host another VIP Garden, a lovely private tree covered area where guests can enjoy exclusive access to boutique wineries producing 2,000 cases or less, along with a selection of higher-end wineries showcasing new varietals. Ticket sales are limited for this special experience, and VIPs will receive a souvenir wine glass, tasty bites with the wine and additional relaxed seating, plus dedicated restrooms. And it’s all for a great cause. The LAWineFest has once again partnered with the Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club to raise awareness and funds, this year becoming more important than ever to the city and its need for community. Joining as a charitable partner this year is AHEAD With Horses, a local nonprofit devoted to improving the quality of life of disabled, disadvantaged, and special-needs children through equine-assisted therapy using vaulting.

Guests can look forward to a thoughtfully curated weekend of tasting exceptional wines – plus craft brews, ciders, kombucha and other beverages – from local wineries to producers from across the world. Discovering new wines is balanced with many other activities, including live music by the Unofficial Slam Band, delicious food trucks, boutique shopping from local LA-based small businesses, and more.

Deets: Nearly a decade after its original pop-up made waves in the Arts District, the Museum of Ice Cream is making a big return to Los Angeles — this time with a permanent flagship location built entirely from the ground up.

Set to debut in 2026 at 5252 West Adams Boulevard, the new 23,000-square-foot venue will be three times the size of the original and housed in a three-story, pink-accented building designed to bring energy to the street level with ground-floor experiences. Inside, guests can expect 15 all-new, LA-inspired interactive exhibits, including a Santa Monica Pier-style carnival, a tiki bar, a massive sprinkle pool, and a towering 100-foot double helix slide stretching the full height of the building.

This marks the first flagship for the Museum of Ice Cream and will join its growing roster of locations in New York, Chicago, Austin, Las Vegas, Boston, Miami, and Singapore.
