Make Metro Part of Your Weekend
Every Wednesday we map out a guide to the best free things to do for the weekend taking L.A. Metro. For this Saturday, we recommend Beach Streets in Long Beach, which is anchored around a 2.5 mile stretch of Broadway closed to vehicular traffic from Pine Ave to Redondo Ave. Expect multiple hubs offering DJ sets, skate demos, live music, marionette performances, a Kids Zone, and more. PLUS: Beach Street intersects with the LB Proud! Fest at Bixby Park (just off Broadway) which includes 3 stages of music, a queer bicycle parade, and beer garden. Beach Streets runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Proud! Fest goes from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Both are free to attend. More info here.
