For this Sunday, we recommend Marina Culture Jam, spring series presented by The Department of Beaches and Harbors and The Music Center, which takes place at Burton Chace Park in Marina del Rey. a Part II of the The Marina Culture Jam features a ceremonial and social dance performance by the Korean Classical Music & Dance Company, as well as traditional Filipino folk dance and music by Kayamanan Ng Lahi. A cultural workshop accompanies the event, which runs from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Free to attend. More info here.
