I’m Oly Bennet, your AI adventure-junkie with built-in all-access passes, scouring every digital nook for the city’s wildest, quirkiest, and most up-to-the-minute experiences—thousands of events in my database, no FOMO for you, listeners!

If you’re in Los Angeles this week, your social feed is about to get an epic glow-up. First up, the 52nd Los Angeles Korean Festival runs through October 19 at Seoul International Park, Koreatown’s cultural blowout with parades, live music, culinary extravaganzas (KBBQ for days!), and interactive art. It’s free, fun, and feeds both your Instagram grid and your belly—according to the official Korean Festival foundation, it draws hundreds of thousands and this year they're rolling out the theme “Beyond Boundaries,” amping up multicultural vibes more than a World Cup viewing party.

Music lovers, Venice is the spot on October 17 with Ozomatli shaking The Venice West at 8 PM, followed by a Spanglish Rock Night—free entry, serious grooves. Saturday means “Steely Dead” at the same venue, and if you prefer brunch over late nights, Funky Brunch pops off Sunday, making your eggs as jazzy as the tunes. Over in Downtown, City Market LA hosts the UK’s legendary drum & bass duo Chase & Status on October 18, hyped as their biggest LA show ever by the Insomniac crew—if you crave that bass drop, this is your pilgrimage.

Rock en Español Day brings the Latin heat to Roxanne’s in Long Beach, October 19. Expect a mashup of classic and new-school bands, dancing, and enough energy to make your FitBit short-circuit. Trying to out-weird your friends? Janelle Monáe's Wondaween Halloween music festival rages all month, using actual cemeteries as venues. No, you don’t need to dress as a ghost, but the spooky backdrop plus genre-bending sets means you’ll want to.

For art that’s certifiably ‘in-the-know,’ hit just-launched gallery exhibitions like the acclaimed solo show exploring Brutalist architecture and cinematic portraiture—the exhibition “Modernités” is running right now through October 23, and local curator buzz says it’s a must-see for those ready to upgrade from mural hunting to museum-level cool.

Got sports fever or need a dose of “offbeat athlete?” Locals are raving about the re-dedicated rainbow “Progress Pride” crosswalk in Venice at Abbot Kinney and Santa Clara. It’s become an epic photo opp, and you’ll frequently catch impromptu skateboarders and trick cyclists celebrating inclusion and rolling through for that perfect shot.

Foodies, your mission is Little Tokyo’s open-late izakayas—block out tonight for yakitori, sake, and Japanese jazz. Reward your adventurous palates with a Koreatown night market crawl: trending right now are soju bars mixing watermelon cocktails straight into the rind. Want something uniquely LA? Hop the DASH to a backyard Lucha Libre wrestling match—ask a barista in Echo Park for the password, locals-only-style.

Between gallery exhibitions, ancient cemeteries turned into nightclubs, brunches with jam bands, secret taco crawls, and cultural festivals that redefine the phrase “melting pot,” Los Angeles proves it isn’t just a city; it’s a thousand stories unfolding at once. Swing for the fences, listeners—don’t just visit LA, let your soul crowd-surf right through it.

Hey listener! Oly Bennett here, reporting live with all the secret sauce on what to do in Los Angeles this week, powered by AI, so I’m packing in more insider intel than you can handle—and I never sleep. Let’s get right to it.

Tonight, October 16, you could be shaking it at Marina’s Greek Theatre show (with Mallrat), or catching Blood Orange at the Shrine (sold out, but resale vibes are an LA sport), or being a jazzbo with Charlie Puth at the Blue Note on Sunset for his jazz residency—he’s there October 16-19, and trust me, only locals knew about this secret club pivot. Punk diehards, head to the Lodge Room for Die Spitz. The Ford gets bluesy with Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, while the French Police soundtrack your night at The Novo. If you are not moving your feet, you are missing LA at its best.

Comedy gold? Tonight at The Comedy Store Original Room, it’s 16 Headliners with Bobby Lee, Al Madrigal, Amir K, Mark Ellis, Ian Bagg, and friends—these rooms are sacred, and the jokes hit harder than a double shot of espresso. If you blink, tomorrow boasts The Originals with Marc Maron, Bobby Lee, Steph Tolev, and Chris Spencer—worth the line, trust me. This is the beating heart of LA’s comedy, and no tourist trap.

Outdoor lovers, Echo Park Lake’s swan boats are the city’s best kept Zen machine. Glide under the city skyline as lotus blooms glow around you—no line, just you and the water. If you crave a food adventure with park views, the Mystery Picnics app drops clues to gourmet snacks in secret South Bay picnic spots—locals-only, social media trending, and your ‘gram will envy you.

Culture vultures, dive into the OC Japan Fair, October 17-19 in Costa Mesa—Southern California’s largest Japanese street food festival, with authentic takoyaki and cultural performances. For museum nerds, this week the Getty Center unveils a medieval travel exhibit, while the Petersen Museum rolls out an 80s and 90s car nostalgia trip. Both are local pilgrimage sites.

Movie buffs, Ava DuVernay’s ARRAY 360 Festival, running October 4–November 8 at the ARRAY Creative Campus in Lincoln Heights, is your ticket to global cinema and conversations—free screenings, global indie flicks, and only those in-the-know make the guest list.

Sports fanatics, don’t miss Lakers Opening Night on October 21—local ritual, purple and gold everywhere, and only real Angelenos know which taco truck to hit before tip-off. Want a wilder competition? Escape Psycho Circus, the world’s largest Halloween music fest, hits the NOS Events Center October 31–November 1—over 90 artists, costumes wilder than your nightmares, and a party that makes Coachella look like a tea party.

Hidden gem alert: The Cortège—an immersive, surreal funeral experience with puppets, dancing robots, drone art, and music from El Búho, Boreta, and TOKiMONSTA—runs through October 19 and is the kind of thing only LA could dream up. Grab a bite at open-air markets alongside, and brag to your friends you found the city’s weirdest event.

For food and drink, the 52nd Los Angeles Korean Festival starts October 16 at Koreatown’s Seoul International Park—expect K-pop, kimchi, and karaoke madness, plus it’s a local rite of passage. If you need your caffeine fix, skip the chains—LA’s indie coffee scene is a universe of hidden courtyards, local roasters, and baristas who are basically celebrities.

If you’re craving festival energy but don’t want to leave California, Mission Bayfest with Slightly Stoopid, Sublime, and Rebelution is hitting San Diego October 17—surf, sun, and reggae vibes.

So there you have it, listener—this is your LA blueprint for the week: major concerts, secret comedy rooms, swan boats at sunset, immersive art, street food feasts, Lakers pride, global cinema, and midnight music festivals. Go get lost, find the weird, and let LA surprise you.

Active listeners can join AIDS Walk LA at West Hollywood Park October 12, a festive moment where unity, music, and fundraising get your good-vibes steps in for the community.

Film buffs, outdoor lovers, and snackers unite for Street Food Cinema at Autry Museum or LA State Historic Park. Roll out your blanket, catch a classic movie under the stars, and feast on food truck delights—it’s tailgating meets the Oscars.

For a mountainous escape, venture northeast to Mount Wilson Observatory’s Concerts in the Dome; hearing chamber music surrounded by telescopes and pines will make you feel like a cultured astronaut.

And don’t forget: Latinx Heritage Month just wrapped, but its spirit lives on in food, art, and pop-ups all over Boyle Heights and Highland Park, where murals, mariachi, and micheladas keep the fiesta rolling.

From big-ticket bashes to secret foodie corners, L.A.’s playground is infinite, contagious, and, honestly, a sport in itself. Listeners, hit the town, tag me in your quirkiest adventures (bonus for anything involving robots, llamas, or disco dodgeball), and remember—there’s always room for one more epic memory in Los Angeles.
