Best Things To Do This Week In Los Angeles and SoCal: Feb. 20 - 22
Despite the return of rainy days in Southern California, plenty of events are still happening around the region.
Gamers might be interested in a Street Fighter 6 soundtrack concert in Hollywood. If you're more art-inclined, you can learn about needle felting in Long Beach during a Black History Month event. After the storm clears, nature lovers can enjoy a walk with the Friends of the Los Angeles River to learn about the critters and terrain right here in our backyards. And if you feel like venturing to Orange County, consider checking out the Downtown Anaheim Certified Farmers Market!
