The Best Events Happening This Weekend in Los Angeles | June 30 – July 2

Summer in Los Angeles is a vibrant and exciting time filled with special events and activities to enjoy before the highly anticipated July 4th celebrations next week. One great event this Friday night is Pride Night at The Original Farmers Market at The Grove. The evening promises live entertainment, bingo, and dancing under the stars, with a variety of sips and bites from vendors like Kaylin + Kaylin Pickles, Fritzi Coop, and Roxy and Jo’s Seafood. Another noteworthy event is the Whiskey Launch & Cigar Rolling Party at Tam O’Shanter on the same evening. Guests can indulge in whiskey tastings, witness live cigar rolling, and relish passed appetizers, all while experiencing an exclusive release of Tam O’Shanter’s 101-year whiskey barrel. Plus, on Sunday, Hotel Ziggy invites attendees to their Sunset Splash, a poolside party with DJ Pee Wee, Leisan, Mango & Ginger, and Vago providing the tunes, and refreshing drinks. But if those events aren’t your cup of tea (or tequila), we’ve highlighted plenty of other events going on this weekend in the city of angels. Enjoy!
