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.
