The Parish at House of Blues Anaheim, 400 W Disney Way. May 29th. Arankai: The Portrait Tour, with special guests Buffering, at the Parish — the mid-cap room that handles the kind of indie-circuit touring show that lives and breathes in rooms exactly this size. The Parish is the venue that fits this level of artist: close enough that the performance is personal, the House of Blues sound system handling the nuance that smaller venues can't, a standing floor that creates the crowd dynamic that rock shows were designed for. The Portrait Tour is a named tour — which means a concept, a setlist with a through-line, not just a greatest hits rotation. Tickets at ticketmaster.com. May 29th in Anaheim. If you've been following Arankai and waiting for the Southern California stop, this is the date. Get there early. The Parish fills from the stage back and the best spots are claimed by the people who know to arrive before the opener starts.

Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band
May 28, 2026 45000 Pechanga Parkway, Pechanga R…

Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band brought their signature traveling rock and roll circus to Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula on May 28, 2026 — a night that proved why this rotating lineup of legendary musicians continues to command devoted audiences decades into Ringo's solo career. The All Starr Band concept is deceptively brilliant: each member of the backing band is a star in their own right, which means the set list moves between Ringo's Beatles-era classics and the greatest hits of whoever happens to be flanking him on stage that night. The intimate casino theater setting at Pechanga translated to an experience that arena tours cannot replicate — the kind of show where you can see Ringo's expression when the groove locks in, where the horsepower of the band fills a room instead of an aircraft hangar. What makes a Ringo Starr show worth making the drive to Temecula: there are only so many nights left where you can watch a Beatle perform live. That is not nostalgia — it is arithmetic. The people who filled Pechanga understood that. The ticket stub from this night carries a different weight than most. Pechanga Resort Casino is located at 45000 Pechanga Pkwy, Temecula, CA 92592.

Dolby Theatre, 6801 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood. May 27th. De Yun She's 2026 World Tour 30th Anniversary — three decades of cross-talk performance, the traditional Chinese performance art that combines rapid-fire dialogue, wordplay, and comedic timing at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. De Yun She is the Beijing cross-talk troupe that has brought xiansheng — the traditional two-person comedic dialogue form — to arenas and theaters for thirty years. The anniversary tour lands at the Dolby Theatre, which is one of the grandest performing arts venues in Los Angeles, and the juxtaposition of a traditional Chinese art form in the building that holds the Oscars is its own kind of statement. Tickets at ticketmaster.com. May 27th. The Chinese community in Los Angeles has been following De Yun She for decades, and the 30th anniversary is the occasion the troupe has been building toward. The Dolby is sold out for similar events — book early. Cross-talk rewards knowing the references, but the timing and the commitment to the form is legible without the cultural context. This is performance at the highest level of a tradition that goes back centuries.

The crowd at a show like this has been waiting for exactly this room — the specific night where the distance between stage and floor is close enough to matter.

66th Annual Garden Grove Strawberry Festival 2026
May 22 – May 25, 2026 Village Green Park, 12732 Main St,…

Most towns gave up on the real summer fair a long time ago — the kind where the centerpiece is genuinely free, the parade goes down the actual main street, and the town runs the whole thing rather than hosting it. It has happened here for sixty-six years. Free strawberry shortcake, one of the last things in Southern California that costs nothing. Carnival rides. A strawberry fashion contest. The redhead competition. Pie-eating. Live music across several stages and hundreds of artisan and food vendors, over four days that close out May. The parade steps off Saturday morning through downtown. The shortcake line on the final afternoon is a tradition of its own, and standing in it is not a chore. Village Green Park, 12732 Main St, Garden Grove. Admission free; rides are pay-per-ride. OCTA Route 43 stops on Main Street at the entrance. Bring the kid you were, or the one you have.

Fiesta Hermosa 2026 — Memorial Day Weekend
May 23 – May 25, 2026 Pier Plaza, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254

Fiesta Hermosa fills the heart of downtown Hermosa Beach across Memorial Day weekend with over 250 juried art and craft vendors, live music across multiple stages in Pier Plaza, local food and beverage vendors, and the full South Bay beach-city social scene in rare concentrated form. One of the most consistently attended street festivals in the South Bay, running since 1971 — Memorial Day and Labor Day editions mark the bookends of the beach summer. The vendor footprint runs through Pier Plaza and along the Strand from 11th Street toward the pier, covering several blocks of walkable beach-adjacent streets. Admission to browse is free. Music and performance stages run through the afternoon and into the evening on both Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Food vendors lean local — South Bay restaurants and specialty food makers. Parking in the nearby structure at 8th and Hermosa is the most reliable option; plan to walk several blocks in. Rideshare drop-off works well on the Strand. Check fiestahermosa.net for vendor map, stage schedule, and hours for the Memorial Day weekend edition.

San Diego Padres vs Philadelphia Phillies at Petco Park
May 25, 2026 100 Park Blvd, San Diego, CA 92101

Memorial Day weekend at Petco Park. The Phillies come to San Diego on May 25th carrying the particular energy of a team that travels well — Philadelphia fans follow their teams, they make noise in the opposing park, and they make the crowd around them feel the game harder. That friction is the best version of a regular season game. The Petco Park experience in late May is what drew people to baseball in the first place: the temperature is right, the sun drops into the outfield seats around the fifth inning, and the park fills with people who decided that today is the kind of day you don't spend indoors. The Phillies are a legitimate postseason contender, which means nothing about May 25th is throwaway. The Padres rotation and the bullpen dynamics that have been building all spring face a real test. Right field bleachers for the atmosphere. Infield seats for the angles. Either way you leave having watched real baseball, in the right park, in the right city, at the right time of year. Check mlb.com/padres for availability. The Tommy John stand behind left field is not optional. Memorial Day weekend at Petco has a specific energy — the holiday, the stakes, the crowd that showed up for both.

San Diego Wave FC Home Match — May 24 at Snapdragon Stadium
May 24, 2026 9449 Friars Rd, San Diego, CA 92108

San Diego Wave FC return to Snapdragon Stadium on May 24 for a late-May Sunday afternoon NWSL match — the kind of day in San Diego that makes everyone who lives here remember why they do. May Sundays at Snapdragon carry family-day energy: the supporter section in full voice, a younger crowd visible throughout the lower deck, and the game played at a pace that rewards the attention of anyone willing to watch it closely. The Wave have built a genuine sporting identity in San Diego — the uniform, the crest, the culture around the club that extends beyond the results. A Sunday afternoon in Mission Valley in late May against NWSL competition is the kind of low-stakes high-quality sports afternoon that gets described to people who weren't there in the same terms as a concert or a sunset.

San Bernardino County Fair 2026
May 14 – May 24, 2026 14800 7th St, Victorville, CA 92395

Held each spring at the San Bernardino County Fairgrounds in Victorville, the San Bernardino County Fair is the Inland Empire's annual celebration of High Desert community, agriculture, and entertainment. The fair runs for nearly two weeks and draws visitors from across San Bernardino County and the greater Inland region for livestock shows, carnival rides, demolition derby, a full rodeo program, live country and regional music on the grandstand stage, fair food, and a robust artisan vendor market. The Victorville fairgrounds are easily accessible from the 15 Freeway — roughly 90 minutes from Los Angeles, making it a practical day trip for SoCal visitors who want the full county fair experience. Admission is priced per day; multi-day passes offer better value for families. Junior livestock auctions are a highlight for agricultural community members. The carnival midway runs through the full duration of the fair. Check sbcountyfair.com for the daily event schedule, headliner announcements, and gate pricing before visiting.

Peacock Theater was sold out. The expo outside it wasn't. For two days on the LA Live Event Deck, thousands of K-pop fans showed up for the free version — panels, brand activations, fan meet-and-greets, vendors, Jay Park headlining inside the building on Saturday night. K-EXPO USA 2026 ran May 23-24 alongside the ticketed concert, free and open, no registration required. The people who come to K-EXPO without a concert ticket aren't the ones who couldn't get in.

Thornton Winery, 32575 Rancho California Rd, Temecula. May 23rd. Richard Marx at the Champagne Jazz Series — the outdoor concert format that Thornton Winery has been perfecting since 1988, in a vineyard setting that makes the whole evening feel like the specific California life that wine country is trying to be. The Champagne Jazz Series puts artists on an outdoor stage in the middle of Temecula wine country, with the vineyard visible from every seat and the Rancho California hills holding the sound in the early evening. Richard Marx — whose catalog runs from "Endless Summer Nights" to "Right Here Waiting" to the ballads that lived on every mixtape of a certain era — brings exactly the material that works in this setting. It is not a small thing to hear a song you know completely, performed live, with the sun going down over the vines. thorntonwine.com for ticket details and the Champagne Jazz Series schedule. May 23rd. The outdoor setting means arrive early enough to find your space before the show. Wine tasting runs before the concert. The dinner option pairs with the experience if you're making a full evening of wine country at its best version of itself.

TOArts presents the YALA Film Festival
May 23, 2026 2100 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd, Scherr…

A film plays differently in a room that was built for orchestras. The sound has somewhere to go. Nobody is unwrapping anything. The person two rows up is leaning forward instead of sinking down. For one evening the Scherr Forum stops being a concert hall and becomes a festival house, with programming chosen by someone who has an actual point of view, which means every title on the schedule is there for a reason rather than because a distributor bought the slot. What you get is the version of moviegoing that reminds you why theaters exist at all: the collective flinch, the laugh that arrives early from one corner of the room, the walk out to the car afterward when nobody is quite ready to start talking about it yet. The Bank of America Performing Arts Center in Thousand Oaks, one night, seats through the box office. Send this to whoever you argue with about movies. You already know exactly who that is.

Teragram Ballroom, 1234 West 7th Street, Los Angeles. May 23rd. Three bands — Colorblind, Windwaker, and If Not For Me — converging on a West 7th venue that handles multi-artist bills the way bills like this need to be handled: standing floor, a sight line from any position in the room, the sound at the level the bands came for. A three-act bill is the format where the night builds. The opening act sets the temperature. The middle act raises it. By the time the headliner takes the stage, the room knows what it's doing. Teragram is the Los Angeles venue that holds this kind of bill at exactly the right density — full enough that the energy compounds, not so packed that you lose the experience of each performance. Tickets at ticketmaster.com. May 23rd in Downtown Los Angeles. The Teragram is accessible from all of LA and a clean shot from Orange County on the 110. Get there early. The opening act is where the night's first discovery happens.

YUNGBLUD — the Doncaster artist who turned emo and pop-punk and glam rock and TikTok all into a single vehicle and drove it directly at an audience that was already waiting for exactly this — bringing the IDOLS World Tour to the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on May 22nd. The Greek Theatre is the right size for what YUNGBLUD does live. He performs for rooms that want to be performed at, and the Greek at 5,800 seats is the scale where the production can expand and the crowd can still feel like a crowd rather than a field. The Idols era is the most musically developed version of what he's been building — the hooks hit harder, and the live translation of that material is where this artist actually lives. The Greek in late May is Los Angeles outdoor concert season at its best. The hill fills before the first song. Get your ticket before the sections you want close. If you've been watching this tour build on social, the Greek date is the Los Angeles chapter of a story worth being inside.
