Los Angeles Magazine

1.17.2025

Every Thursday, Los Angeles magazine curates a list of the best music and culture events in and around Los Angeles. Craft a great last-minute schedule with our Weekend Guide to L.A. (Click the hyperlinked event names for more info.) NOTE: In the wake of a harrowing and fire-ravaged week in Los Angeles, some of us may not be ready to go out yet. Home is a comfort for many right now, especially after seeing so many of our friends and neighbors lose everything. But as the city starts to move forward, social connection with others and giving our money to local businesses and events might be just what's needed to return to normalcy. Join the FireAid Benefit Concert at Intuit Dome on January 30, 2025, for a night of music and solidarity to support wildfire recovery efforts in Los Angeles. All proceeds aid displaced families and fire prevention initiatives.

The popular foodie event’s return will help support wildfire relief efforts, with bar profits going to World Central Kitchen and the American Red Cross. The event will also focus on helping individual vendors affected by the fires, including those whose families lost homes. Over a dozen new vendors will participate, and many returning favorites will be on hand.
