Skatepunks, Lowriders and Neon – Oh My!

What a great weekend Aug 10 and 11. From the beach in Venice to the Ventura coast, we can experience counterculture that made it to the mainstream. Venice goes back to Vans’ seminal skatepunk days of the late 70’s, Oxnard shows off their best in Lowriders. The neon beauties from the 40’s-60’s that dot the city will be shown off during the Glendale Neon Tour. Japanese culture will be celebrated across Little Tokyo during the Nisei Festival. For those who prefer plants over people – Westwood hosts Plantasia. See all details and more great things to do in the Events section.
