I don’t have a team of editors, and Los Angeles is huge with tons of events going on so it’s impossible to list them all. The ones I have listed below are those I believe to be outstanding and worthy of checking out.
I hope you enjoy them and have fun in L.A.
Union Station Events
Union Station has been an iconic building in Los Angeles for 85 years. To celebrate, it has collaborated with Merch Motel, a brand created by Barkev Msrlyan inspired by historic destinations, retro signage, and architecture. Its exclusive line of merchandise is largely inspired by the innovative architectural blend of Spanish Colonial, Mission Revival, and Art Deco stylings in the station’s unique design. It is available exclusively on the Merch Motel website and Shop Metro.
This event has been postponed because of I.C.E. interference. The event was meant to celebrate diversity, but I.C.E. does not recognize this. I will let you know when the event is rescheduled.
June 14, 2025, Los Angeles Union Station and Metro Art L.A. host a joyous, interactive evening of Indian culture and dance, featuring the renowned Blue13 Dance Company.
Blue13 Dance Company is a Los Angeles-based American dance theatre ensemble known for its powerful, rhythmic, and theatrical style that blends modern dance with classical and cultural traditions of the Indian subcontinent.
7 pm – 10 pm at the Ticket Concourse. This event is free.

The L.A. Conservancy is an organization dedicated to preserving historic buildings and areas in Los Angeles. It conducts numerous tours and events throughout the city for history buffs.

Little Women Full-Length Original Classical Ballet
Little Women full-length Classical Ballet will be performed at the historic Pasadena Playhouse June 21-22. 2025.
This original, full-length ballet brings the beloved novel to life through dance, celebrating women’s stories and the timeless journey of the March sisters as they come of age during a time marked by war, love, poverty, and profound personal discovery. A moving tribute to family, friendship, and finding one’s voice, Little Women Ballet promises an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages.
After rebounding from the tragedy of the Eaton Fire, where Little Women Ballet props, merchandise, painted signage, decorations, and many of the costumes were destroyed, Little Women Ballet thanks its many supporters for assisting in its rebuilding and is thrilled to be able to bring these special and unique experiences back this spring.
(I also escaped the Eaton Fire, and any support you can give to this company will be appreciated.)
