Los Angeles, a city known for its vibrant culture, diverse attractions, and endless entertainment options, offers a plethora of activities that cater to all interests and preferences. Whether you are a local or a tourist, there is something for everyone in this bustling metropolis.
For those looking to kick off the new year on a healthy note, the California African American Museum (CAAM) is hosting a Self-Care Yoga session today, January 11. Led by yoga and meditation teacher Constance Hartwell, this free, sixty-minute flow session is open to all levels and requires only a yoga mat. You can easily access the venue by taking the E Line to Expo Park / USC Station.
Later in the day, head over to Superchief Gallery LA for the New Year Night Market, also on January 11. This event features over 30 vendors offering merchandise and food, accompanied by DJ-spun tunes and the gallery’s latest art show, "FOOS GONE WILD: Law Abiding Citizens." The market runs from 3 to 9 p.m. and is free to attend, with the nearest metro stop being the A Line at Grand / LATTC station.
If you're interested in outdoor adventures, consider the First Day Hikes at Malibu Creek State Park, which took place on January 1 but sets the tone for a year of exploration. For a more immediate experience, the Santa Monica Mountains Fund’s Yoga on the Mountain series returns to King Gillette Ranch today, January 11. This free outdoor yoga class, led by instructors Greg and Dawn, includes live acoustic music under the sycamore trees and requires advance tickets.
Music enthusiasts should mark their calendars for the 40th annual Kingdom Day Parade on January 18, which celebrates the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a theme of "Peace and Unity, Let it Start with Us." The parade is free to attend and starts at 10 a.m. in Leimert Park, accessible via the K Line to Martin Luther King Jr station or Leimert Park station.
For art lovers, the Por El Río Closing Reception at Los Angeles State Historic Park on January 25 is a must-attend. This event features a conversation with exhibition artists Christopher Suarez and Carlos Agredano, along with DJ’d tunes and light refreshments. You can reach the venue by taking the A Line to Chinatown station.
The city is also rich in cultural experiences. The 2025 Oshogatsu Family Festival on January 5 in Little Tokyo, organized by the Japanese American National Museum, offers traditional Japanese food, entertainment, and special activities such as interactive storytimes and candy sculpture demonstrations. Admission is free all day at the museum.
Sports fans can enjoy ice skating at various locations around the city. Pershing Square’s outdoor rink is open until January 12, while Santa Monica’s rink goes until January 15. For a unique experience, Pasadena offers an indoor ice skating option.
Food enthusiasts will delight in the various culinary experiences LA has to offer. The Six Taste Food Tours provide a historical and cultural walking tour through one of 12 neighborhoods, featuring tastings at four to seven restaurants. Alternatively, you can take an unforgettable bike tour of some of the city’s best taco spots with LA Cycle Tours, which includes stops at taco stands and trucks in Boyle Heights.
For a blend of nature and art, the Animals Aglow event at the LA Zoo is a highlight of January. This wildlife-centered spectacle features towering lantern sculptures, vibrant flowers, and artistic animal displays, creating a festive yet peaceful atmosphere.
Locals and tourists alike can enjoy the iconic Rose Parade, which took place on January 1, but for a recurring event, the Locals Night at the Santa Monica Pier on January 16 is a great option. Every third Thursday from September to May, this free evening event offers youth activities, a car show, local DJs, live music from local bands, and art exhibits, making it an excellent spot to get some steps in and enjoy the local culture.
Finally, for a unique and immersive experience, the Oddities & Curiosities Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center on January 4-5 is a must-visit. This expo features over 150 vendors and artists offering rare and unique items, along with tarot readings, sideshow performers, and concessions throughout the day.
Whether you are into yoga, art, music, sports, or simply exploring the city's hidden gems, Los Angeles has a diverse array of activities that promise to make your visit both memorable and enjoyable.
