This October 24 There is a Huge Day of FREE Stuff Planned in DTLA along Grand Ave.

Don’t sleep on the art and culture of Los Angeles, especially when it comes to what’s happening in downtown.

Case in point, Grand Ave Arts: All-Access, a day-long event scheduled for October 24 that features a cross-coordination of freebies hosted at The Broad, MOCA, Grand Park, The Walt Disney Concert Hall, and more!

The day will include open rehearsals at the LA Opera, architecture tours, museum exhibitions, performances, food and drink, kids film screening, and a brand new art installation.

Best part? Attendance for any and all events is FREE.

Among the notable attractions are a massive Día de los Muertos art installation, including more than 75 altars and stunning art pieces enhanced by dance performances, spanning both The Music Center Plaza and Grand Park, plus the brand new Broad Museum will be offering free architectural tours, and you’ll also be able to behind-the-scenes tours of the Disney Concert Hall, Ahmanson Theatre, Mark Taper Forum, and more!
