Reading alone is fine until you finish something enormous and realise there is nobody in your life you can say the last page to. That is the hole this fills, on the fourth Wednesday of every month, upstairs, for an hour, for free. No application, no reading list you have to have kept up with, no requirement beyond having read the book or being willing to sit there while people who did talk about it. October's is Lincoln in the Bardo, which is George Saunders at his strangest - a graveyard, a grieving president, a hundred and sixty-six narrators interrupting each other - and it is precisely the kind of book that works better out loud with other people than it does alone in a chair. The group skews across four decades of age, which is unusual and is the best thing about it; the retired teacher and the twenty-four-year-old disagree about the same paragraph and both turn out to be right. It is one hour. It meets whether or not you came last month. Second floor of the oldest bookstore in Southern California, every fourth Wednesday, indefinitely.

OB Farmers Market 2026 — Every Wednesday
Every Wednesday · Next Oct 14 Free 4900 Newport Ave, San Diego, CA 92…

Wednesday is the evening Ocean Beach stops being a postcard and goes back to being a neighborhood. From four until eight, Newport Avenue between Cable and Bacon turns into one long conversation — past the record stores and surf shops and dive bars that have outlasted most of the vendors' youngest customers. It is a certified farmers market, so the produce is the real thing: growers, baked goods, flowers, honey, kombucha, and prepared food from people who are here every single week. The regulars are the point. You start recognizing faces around the third visit, and that is when it stops being an errand. Dogs come by default. This is OB. Newport Ave between Cable and Bacon Streets, Ocean Beach. Free street parking on the side streets. Nothing about it is remarkable, which is precisely the thing people miss after they move away.

Anime Expo 2027 — Los Angeles Convention Center
Jul 1 – Jul 4, 2027 Los Angeles Convention Center, 120…

You will be tired in a way that feels earned. Four days, a hundred thousand people, and not one of them needs you to explain what you are talking about. The largest anime convention in North America takes the Los Angeles Convention Center over Fourth of July weekend and spills into the JW Marriott and the Ritz-Carlton beside it. Industry panels, screening rooms, autograph sessions with voice actors and composers, concerts that sell out weeks ahead. Studios from Japan use this as their main North American announcement stage — if a sequel or adaptation is being revealed, it often happens in a room you could be standing in. The exhibit hall carries imported merchandise and collaboration exclusives that surface nowhere else on the continent. Los Angeles Convention Center, 1201 S Figueroa St. Thursday through Sunday. Badges run from top-tier early-access down to single-day passes. Book the connected hotel corridor months out. Everyone who tells you that learned it the hard way.

Taste of Soul LA 2026
In 8 days · Oct 17 Free Crenshaw Blvd (Martin Luther King …

The smell reaches you before the stages do - barbecue and catfish and soul food covering a mile-plus of Crenshaw Boulevard, because every major Black-owned restaurant in South LA has a booth out here and the food is the center of the whole thing. For one Saturday in October, this stretch between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Leimert Park Village becomes one of the largest street festivals in Los Angeles. More than 300,000 people move through in a single day. The format is street vendors, restaurant booths, live music stages, a car show, health screenings, and community organization presence - but it is the food and the crowd that make it. Founded by the Los Angeles Sentinel, the oldest Black-owned newspaper in California, it has run for over two decades and stayed a genuine community institution: multigenerational, neighborhood-rooted, and enormous. This is Leimert Park and Crenshaw at their fullest. Free to attend. Crenshaw closes to traffic for the day. The Metro K Line stops at Leimert Park Village and is the easiest way in and out. Arrive early if you want to move - by noon the crowds are deep.

Pacific Beach Night Market
Monthly · Next Nov 4 Free Bayard St and Garnet Ave, Pacific …

A hundred and fifty steps from the ocean, a corner of Pacific Beach turns into a block party that nobody had to organize you into. Fire pits going. Nine to twelve food vendors rotating week to week, so the thing you loved last time might be gone and the thing replacing it might be better. Live music that is genuinely local — acoustic sets, small bands, the occasional DJ. Games. A crowd of PB locals and students and people who simply wandered up from the beach still holding a towel. Past vendors have run birria tacos, banh mi, craft lemonade, Hawaiian shave ice, artisan pastries, small-batch hot sauces. A few craft sellers usually set up alongside. This is a neighborhood gathering, not a ticketed event. Free. No RSVP. You walk up. Bayard St and Garnet Ave, Pacific Beach. 5 to 9:30 PM. Bring a layer — it cools off fast after sunset, even in August.

The Haunted Parlour Room at the Reindeer Room
In 13 days · Oct 22 $55 Skypark, Pond Road, Lake Arrowhead…

A good ghost story needs a room that was already keeping secrets. Up in the San Bernardino Mountains, hidden inside SkyPark, there is a small speakeasy that spends most of the year doing cocktails and live music by reservation only, and for one night it hands the room over to a storytelling duo working prohibition-era legends. Guests are encouraged to turn up in their haunted best, 1920s speakeasy. The cocktails are built around the story rather than served beside it, with charcuterie and tastings between the acts, and the room is small enough that the storytellers will be close enough to make you flinch. Historic mountain-lodge bones, cocktail-lounge glamour, no stage to hide behind. Seating starts at 6:00 PM on October 22. Tickets are $55 per person, 21 and over, reservations required, and space is genuinely limited. The Reindeer Room keeps going on Friday and Saturday evenings all year with cocktail classes and themed nights, so the mountain holds more of this than one October evening.

The market hosts live music from local musicians throughout the day. GLAM is free to attend and open to all ages. Shaded seating is available. The market runs 10 AM to 4 PM. Getting there: Located in the Gaslamp Quarter, easily accessible by trolley (Gaslamp Quarter station on the Blue and Orange line). Street parking and paid lots available on nearby blocks.
