About

The Venice Hongwanji Buddhist Temple has been in Culver City (despite the Venice name) since the community relocated after the internment. The Obon festival it runs every summer is a direct continuation of a tradition that survived displacement.

July 18 and 19. Chicken teriyaki, udon, andagi, sushi, shave ice, carnival games, silent auction. Bon odori dancing in the evening. Free to attend. The temple community runs it the way temple communities run Obon: with the assumption that the people who know about it will come, and that the people who stumble in are welcome.

12371 Braddock Dr, Culver City. A 20-minute drive from Venice Beach. Same weekend as the OC and WLA Obon festivals for people doing the full circuit.

Conejo Food and Wine Festival 2026
Tomorrow · Jun 28 ~$40 St. Paschal Baylon School Grounds,…

The hills above Thousand Oaks smell like summer on June 28 — wood smoke, caramelized onions, and something sweet from the dessert tent you'll tell yourself you'll skip. You won't. The Conejo Food and Wine Festival runs from 1:30 to 5:30 PM at St. Paschal Baylon School Grounds, 155 E Janss Rd, Thousand Oaks. Admission is roughly $40 and every dollar benefits local programs run by the community that puts this on every year. Local restaurants bring their most crowd-pleasing dishes. The wine pour is generous. Live music runs through the whole afternoon. People come with their neighbors and leave with strangers they'll see at next year's edition — because that's what happens when a community event actually works. The setup is unpretentious in the best way: a tree-shaded fundraiser that's been feeding the same neighborhood for over a decade. Dress for an outdoor afternoon — comfortable shoes, something breezy. Get there early enough to work through the food lineup before it runs out. The dessert table always runs out first. That's how you know it's good. Tickets available on Eventbrite. Parking on-site at the school grounds. This one doesn't advertise hard. It doesn't need to — it fills on word of mouth alone, the same way it has every year since anyone can remember.

K-Pop Festival at the San Diego County Fair 2026
Tomorrow · Jun 28 $22 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd, Del Mar, …

There is a section of the San Diego K-pop fanbase that does not make the drive to KCON or Crypto.com Arena. Not because the trip is too far — because the home crowd is the crowd they want. The County Fair K-Pop day was built for them. A full day at Del Mar — performances, fan activations, photo zones, the choreography pop-ups that turn into impromptu group dances when the right song comes on — anchored to the fairgrounds rather than dropped into an arena built for somebody else's event. Fair admission covers the whole day. The fairgrounds sit on the coast, which matters because every previous K-pop event in this region was held in a parking lot in downtown LA. The people who show up to this are the ones who have been waiting for the K-pop community in San Diego to be visible to itself. They will recognize each other. That is the point of the day. San Diego County Fair, Del Mar Fairgrounds. June 28, 2026. Gates open 11 AM. K-Pop programming runs into the evening. General fair admission covers access to the festival.

Copa Del Rave: World Cup 2026 Watch Parties — Academy LA
In 7 days · Jul 4 – Jul 5 Academy LA, 6021 Hollywood Blvd, L…

Los Angeles has an unexpected World Cup tradition: part soccer watch party, part EDM rave, part cultural celebration. Copa Del Rave turns FIFA match days into full-scale events at Academy LA. The 2026 FIFA World Cup Quarterfinals (July 4-5) bring Copa Del Rave to its peak intensity. Match nights pair live DJ sets from world-class talent — including Claude VonStroke, Ardalan, DJ Minx, and curator crews representing Afrobeats, Reggaeton, Haitian, and Brazilian musical communities — with live soccer on the big screen, multi-room sound, and the kind of crowd energy that only happens when your country is playing. What makes Copa Del Rave different from a normal sports bar: the music is not background. The DJs set the emotional tempo of the match. When your team scores, the drop hits. The diaspora crews — Afrobeats To The World, Gasolina, Reggaeton Rave, Haitian Spotlight — turn each match into a cultural homecoming. Fans who have never been to a rave and ravers who have never watched soccer both belong here. QF Watch Parties run July 4-5 at Academy LA (Hollywood). Tickets available at Academy LA and copadelrave.com. 21+. Doors open at 9pm.

OFF ROAD NIGHTS Dirt Lifestyle Expo 2026 — Temecula

Temecula's off-road and dirt lifestyle community takes over The Promenade on June 27, 2026. OFF ROAD NIGHTS Dirt Lifestyle Expo is SoCal's dedicated gathering for the off-road, overlanding, and dirt lifestyle community — a full-day outdoor event running 1 PM to 9 PM at The Promenade Temecula (40820 Winchester Road, Temecula, CA 92591). The ORN Expo brings together industry-leading vendors, cutting-edge off-road builds, and the kind of crowd that builds trails on weekends and lives in the desert on long weekends. Expect: a featured car show with off-road rigs from desert runners to overlanding builds, Freestyle Moto Shows, live music throughout the afternoon and evening, hands-on product demos from brands at the front edge of the dirt lifestyle space, and a full vendor floor covering gear, accessories, and builds. Free admission for spectators. Pre-registration available for vehicle display at ornscene.com. Vendor applications open for booth spots and the car show. Contact: [email protected]. The 2026 edition returns with a new location at The Promenade — more room, better parking flow, and a main stage setup that works into the evening. The off-road community in the Temecula/Murrieta area is one of the most active in SoCal; this is the event where that community meets in person. Whether you're a weekend warrior with a lifted truck or building your first overland rig, the crowd at ORN is the crowd that actually does this stuff.

GameSync San Diego, 2860 Main St. June 27th. $10. The GameSync Monthly Open in June — the end-of-spring competitive gaming tournament where the season's first half gets its honest accounting, and the players who have been building their games since the new year find out what they've actually built.

June 27th at GameSync, 2860 Main St. gamesync.us for the title list and bracket format. Show up prepared. The GameSync Monthly draws the competitive players who have been coming all year.

35th Annual Murrieta Birthday Bash 2026

Every June, the city of Murrieta throws itself a birthday party at California Oaks Sports Park -- and 35 years in, it has not gotten old. The 35th Annual Murrieta Birthday Bash on June 27, 2026 runs from 2 PM to 9 PM and packs in a Kid Zone, a Firefighter Hosedown, local vendors, live music from an opening act and a headlining band, and a fireworks show at 9 PM that closes the night the way a summer night should close. Free to attend, rain or shine. Murrieta incorporated in 1991, and this is how the city has marked the occasion every year since -- the people who came as kids now bring their own, and the people who grew up here and moved away still come back for this one. California Oaks Sports Park holds the whole thing without breaking a sweat: open grass, room for everyone, and a sky wide enough for the fireworks to do their job.

Into the Horizon Music Festival 2026
Today · Jun 27 – Jun 28 Varies Waterfront Park, 1600 Pacific Hwy,…

Into the Horizon brings two days of world-class electronic music to Waterfront Park along the San Diego Bay, produced by Insomniac Events — the team behind Electric Daisy Carnival and Beyond Wonderland. Headliners Martin Garrix and Tiësto anchor a lineup spanning house, techno, trance, and bass music across multiple stages. Waterfront Park sits directly on the bay in downtown San Diego, giving this festival one of the most spectacular urban festival settings in California. The stage configurations take advantage of the open waterfront, with the San Diego Bay as the backdrop for the main stage. Daytime programming runs through sunset, and the evening sets are designed around the bay lighting and skyline. Insomniac festivals are known for production quality — LED rigs, full stage decor, and the infrastructure that distinguishes a produced event from a promoter show. Food and beverage vendors are spread throughout the grounds. The venue is walkable from the downtown core, the Convention Center, and the Little Italy and Gaslamp neighborhoods. Two-day passes and single-day tickets are available. Age 18+. Rideshare drop-off on Pacific Highway. This is a marquee summer festival weekend for San Diego — whether you are a longtime EDM fan or just discovering the scene, Into the Horizon is the summer anchor event for the city.
