Posted by Los Angeles provides no limit of things to do, some awesome and some not so awesome. Since time is precious in this fast paced city, we decided to curate a list of things to do in Los Angeles every weekend that’ll help you decide how you want to spend your limited supply of attention (not to mention dollars!).
This weekend includes beer festivals, a Cruel Intentions musical parody, awesome sample sales, Easter Brunch, a Renaissance Faire, and plenty more.
