Check Out Zootoberfest at the L.A. Zoo

A new fall event arrives at the Los Angeles Zoo this weekend: Zootoberfest, a family-friendly, Oktoberfest-themed celebration.

The event takes place Saturday and Sunday, September 19–20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The celebration includes German-inspired food, live Oktoberfest bands, lawn games, seasonal decorations, themed photo opportunities, keeper talks, and other activities. Admission to Zootoberfest is included with general zoo admission.

For families looking for something different from the usual weekend routine, the zoo gives a distinctly autumn-themed twist.

Explore the New Spider Pavilion

If you are looking for a museum outing with a seasonal twist, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County opens its Spider Pavilion to the public on Sunday, September 20.

The open-air exhibition runs through December 6 and allows visitors to walk among hundreds of orb weaver spiders and their webs. The museum also has enclosed habitats featuring other species, including tarantulas and wolf spiders.

The Spider Pavilion is one of those distinctly Los Angeles experiences that can make a regular museum visit feel a little more unusual.

See SOFI TUKKER at the Greek Theatre

For a night of live music, SOFI TUKKER performs at the Greek Theatre on Saturday, September 19.

The duo is scheduled to perform with Drama, giving concertgoers another major live-music option for Saturday night. The performance is listed for 7:30 p.m.

It is one of several concerts taking place across the city this weekend.

Catch UFC 331 at Crypto.com Arena

UFC fans have a major event on Saturday, September 19, with UFC 331 at Crypto.com Arena.

The event begins at 2 p.m., with early prelims at 2:30 p.m. and the main card at 6 p.m. The headline bout features flyweight champion Joshua Van defending his title against former champion Alexandre Pantoja.

The lineup also includes a lightweight co-main event between Arman Tsarukyan and Mauricio Ruffy.

Experience “Ocean Child: I Am Yoko”

The Sunday performance gives music fans another reason to keep the weekend going after Saturday night.
