Make Metro Part of Your Weekend
Pasadena Doo Dah Parade – M FA > Sometimes called the “Twisted Sister” of the annual Rose Parade, The Pasadena Doo Dah Parade returns this Sunday for its 45th edition, featuring an irreverent and oddball cast of characters marching down Colorado Blvd in Old Pasadena. The parade begins at Raymond Ave. and Holly Street, continuing south 2 blocks and then banking right onto Colorado. The official start time is 11 a.m., but it’s recommended to get there early if you want a good viewing spot. More info here.
Go Metro: Take the A Line to Memorial Park station.
Three Top Picks To Do This Sunday
M = Less than .5 miles from an L.A. Metro Station, FA = Free Admission
Home Movie Day at the Academy – FA > On Sunday, The Academy Museum will host a Home Movie Day aimed at celebrating the local film community and recognizing the powerful ways home movies and amateur films add to the history of cinema. The programming includes a projection workshop where participants will learn the history and significance of various film formats, followed by a tactile filmmaking workshop where anyone can experiment with creating their own “cameraless” films with simple tools like markers, hole-punchers, and paint. The films will then be pieced together to project a community-created film. And the best part? Tickets are free to attend! The schedule of events starts at 10:30 a.m. More info here.
Digital Witness at LACMA -> This Sunday, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art opens their newest exhibition, Digital Witness: Revolutions in Design, Photography, and Film. The exhibition features works from 200 artists, designers, and makers, all curated to examine the impact of digital manipulation tools from the 1980s to the present. It remains on view through July 13, 2025. Adult tickets to LACMA start at $23 for L.A. County residents, or $28 for non-residents. Get more info here.
