A little weekend curation from me to you 🌀
Day parties, rooftops, group hikes and more
Hey friends, if you’re still looking for things to do in LA this weekend, I got you!
I pulled together my fave picks for the weekend: rooftop moments, dembow nights, art hangs that feel like a reset, and a couple parties I’d drag my friends to. If you’re in your dance era, healing era, or just “I need to get out of the house” era… there’s something in here for you.
Tag me if you go ! 🌀

LORE @ Blind Barber (Culver City) 💿 – lowkey vibes but still a party (perfect if you want to accidentally stay out all night)
The Broad Museum – shoutout to Oaxacan content creator Iris who put me on to this — Indigenous artist Jeffrey Gibson’s exhibition is a must if you’re in your art era
SYN (bailefunk-dembow-house) – 9 PM, if you want to feel like you’re not in LA for a sec

Motion @ Continental – hip-hop party with Bay roots — if you know, you know. Been to these in the Bay and I love it
DANG! @ El Cid – 10 PM, soulful electronic energy with Anderson .Paak x Tyler the Creator vibes
Tech My House @ Exchange LA – EDC energy without the EDC wristband
Saturday, May 17
818 Hike & Run Club 🌱 – 9 am group hike with one of my favorite run clubs
FRNDS ONLY Day Party – think Afro beats, hip hop, rnb
Indie Funk & House Party (Pasadena 8) – the algorithm might not show you this but I will
Noche Romántica @ Melody Lounge 💌 – for when you want your night to feel like a love letter (or a breakup playlist)
Pullin Me Back @ Stowaway – 10 PM – giving R&B, dim lighting, flirty vibes lol
