Here’s a Big Fat List of Cool Things to do This Fall in L.A.

At 7:21 a.m. local time today the fall season officially began in the northern hemisphere. For us here at We Like L.A. that signals one key thing: It’s time to start focusing on autumn events in Los Angeles.

Moving on from summer’s array of outdoor movie series, massive beach festivals and nighttime concerts, this fall in L.A. features a diverse range of to-dos, from annual staples (LA Auto Show) to new treats (Dino Fest) to holiday specials (Day of the Dead at Hollywood Forever).

Below… an introduction.

There isn’t necessarily a rhyme or reason to the list. It’s just a big, fat, chronological listing of some of the most eye-catching events and attractions on our radar for the fall.
