One of LA’s best summer traditions is officially back this month.

Moonlight Movies on the Beach returns on June 23 to Granada Beach this summer with a lineup of free outdoor screenings right on the sand.

This year’s schedule includes classics like Jurassic Park, The Breakfast Club, Mean Girls, The Lost Boys, A League of Their Own, and a special Grease sing-along to close out the season.

All screenings are free to attend and begin at sunset. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets, beach chairs, and their favorite movie snacks. Food trucks and kettle corn vendors will also be on-site.

Movies, ocean views, and summer nights. That’s a pretty hard combo to beat.

By the way, we have a weekly newsletter with what’s worth knowing about and doing in Los Angeles. One newsletter. Once a week. Link in bio.

The first Los Angeles Jazz Festival will run for 25 days this August, spreading across all 15 City Council districts with more than two dozen free concerts in parks and neighborhoods.

The finale?

 “Jazz on the Beach” at Dockweiler on August 22–23, with up to 40,000 people per day on the sand.

Other highlights include:

 • 150+ Jazz After Dark shows in woman- and POC-owned venues
 • A Caribbean street festival in El Segundo
 • A two-day State of Jazz Conference in Marina del Rey
 • 25 free “Jazz in the Park” concerts citywide

Backed by Mayor Karen Bass, the festival aims to become the largest Black-owned jazz festival ever, and one of the biggest in the world.

California just released a new update on its long planned high-speed rail project that could eventually connect Los Angeles and San Francisco in about 160 minutes.

The California High-Speed Rail Authority’s 2026 Draft Business Plan says construction is moving forward in the Central Valley, where track installation and electrification have begun. If things stay on schedule, the first operating segment between Merced and Bakersfield could open in 2032.

Once fully built, the trains are expected to reach speeds of about 220 mph, making them the fastest passenger rail system in the United States. Not as fast as Japan, but we're getting there. 

The project was first approved by California voters back in 2008, but it has faced years of delays, funding debates, and cost overruns, and the latest plan is now open for 60 days of public review.

By the way, we have a weekly newsletter with what's worth knowing about and doing in Los Angeles and San Francisco. One newsletter. Once a week. Link in bio.

Women’s professional baseball is entering a new era.

The Women’s Pro Baseball League has officially unveiled the names and logos for its first four franchises ahead of its inaugural season this August.

Rather than choosing traditional mascots, every team is named after a woman who helped break barriers in history, celebrating pioneers in civil rights, medicine, firefighting advocacy and baseball.

The league’s first game takes place on August 1, with the New York Heights taking on the Los Angeles Queens, followed by the San Francisco Firebells and Boston Hunters the next day.

By the way, we round up the biggest stories every week into one newsletter so you don’t have to. One newsletter. Once a week. Link in bio.

Mark your calendars!

LACMA is celebrating its brand new David Geffen Galleries with a full-on block party this summer, and it’s completely free to attend.

We’re talking all-day access to the museum, DJs, food, art installations, and a massive art parade through Miracle Mile to close out the night.

And if you’re creative… you can actually be part of it.

Artists, performers, and designers can apply now to join the parade with costumes, sculptures, and live performances.

Boston did it again.

WalletHub analyzed 399 cities, scored them across five major sports (football, baseball, basketball, soccer, hockey), and crunched everything from fan engagement to team performance to stadium access. The result? Boston edges out LA for the title of top sports city in America.

Fenway. TD Garden. Gillette. A championship-stacked history. A fan base that treats sports like a second language. It all added up.

LA, Pittsburgh, NYC, and Dallas round out the top five,  so let the arguing begin.

Which city should be number one?

Johnny Depp helped ease Eric Dane’s financial worries in the months leading up to his death.

According to a report from the New York Post’s Page Six, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor allowed Dane to live “basically rent-free” in one of his homes above the Sunset Strip as he battled ALS.

A source told the outlet that Depp told him to pay whatever he could, or couldn’t, so he’d have one less thing to worry about.

Dane passed away Thursday at 53, ten months after publicly sharing his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis diagnosis.

For 100 years, the public couldn’t step foot here.

Now, one of California’s most untouched coastlines is finally open.

The Estero Americano Coast Preserve, a 547-acre stretch where Marin and Sonoma meet, has officially opened for free public access after being privately managed for a century. Think tidal marshes, wild coastline, spring wildflowers, and panoramic views straight to Point Reyes.

The trail welcomed visitors for the first time late last year, and now it’s fully open to hiking access.

No tickets. No reservations. Just walk in via the Shorttail Gulch Coastal Access Trail near Bodega Bay and explore one of the rarest things left in California: land that stayed wild.

Save this for a Northern California road trip 🌊

The iconic SoCal burger chain, founded in DTLA back in 1946, is offering its classic chili hamburgers for under $1 at all locations on May 15 from 12 PM–8 PM. Customers can order up to three discounted burgers while supplies last. Original Tommy’s started as a tiny burger stand at Beverly and Rampart and eventually became one of LA’s most recognizable fast-food institutions, known for its messy chili-covered burgers and late-night lines. Happy 80th to an LA institution! By the way, we have a weekly newsletter with what’s worth knowing about and doing in Los Angeles. One newsletter. Once a week. Link in bio.

Your Hogwarts letter might have gotten lost, but this still counts.

A full Harry Potter Hogwarts Express experience is coming to Southern California this summer, and it is not just a photo op. It is a real moving train.

The experience starts with a Platform 9¾-style boarding before guests hop on for a ride filled with house competitions, spell-casting challenges, and themed treats from the trolley.

The train then pulls into a Hogsmeade-inspired village with food, drinks, and merchandise, plus a teased encounter with a “dark and mysterious force.”

It is all happening at the Southern California Railway Museum from July 24 through September 27, including Back to Hogwarts Day on September 1.

Tickets go on sale April 28, starting at $77 for adults and $67 for kids.
