Today, it’s the calm before the storm. Hurricane Hilary is heading towards SoCal, and though its intenstiy will diminish as it swirls up the coast, a tropical storm warning has been issued for the region starting Sunday. Extremely heavy rains and gusty winds are expected, and residents are urged to prepare accordingly.
But… if you’ve made all your preparations and just want to take advantage of the sunshine while it lasts, then let’s talk to-dos. For this Saturday, there’s a new concert series in Santa Monica, the Frogtown Flea Crawl, La Bulla Lucha Libre, Grand Performances, KCRW Summer Nights, and more. Rundown starts below.
