The Weekender

The Weekend Starts Here

Sacrifices were made so you could enjoy the weekend.

Thursday

THURSDAY NIGHT ART AND BAR GRATIS

The Standard Downtown Art Series: Parra

Come for the innovative art, stay for the free cocktails. Finish with an afterparty on the rooftop with DJ Peanut Butter Wolf.

Friday

FRIDAY STYLE

Kitson Warehouse Sale

Fill those voids in your closet without breaking the bank—50-80% off clothing and other au courant men's accessories at Kitson's first-ever warehouse sale.

Saturday

SATURDAY BETS AND BREWS

Run a 5K, then spend the rest of the day rewarding yourself for running: Bet on thoroughbreds, listen to live music and down local beers at the KROQ Microbrew Festival. (Or just skip the 5K and do everything else.)

Sunday

SUNDAY AFTERNOON SPY GAME

Ever wonder what happens to 007's gadgets after he uses them to thwart nemeses? The Spy-Fi Exhibit showcases over 400 props from Hollywood's greatest secret agents. Just watch out for Dr. No's tarantula.

Monday

MONDAY MALT AND MASH
