Sunday is the day of days. PieFest is finally here and if you're salivating for crispy crusts and fruity fillings, KCRW has you covered. All you have to do is RSVP and show up! You can get tasting tickets to try the competition pies or stop by one of the many vendors to purchase pie-by-the-slice. Participate in the Apron Runway featuring YOU and your show-stopping apron, check out the Fowler Museum (free admission), get a new cookbook in the Cookbook Swap, and visit the Baking Demo Stage for various demonstrations by our PieFest hosts!
The first Echo Park Earth Fest is this Saturday from 1 PM to 7 PM. There will be a variety of entertainment and activities including free tree giveaways, composting demonstrations, food trucks, nature-guided tours, and live music. Invite your family, friends, and neighbors to enjoy one of Los Angeles' most iconic parks and stunning spring weather, while giving back to the planet we all love.
Michaelangelo: "Wise man says, forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza." There won't be any tardy triangle treats at this event. All varieties from a wealth of vendors will be at your greasy fingertips for Pizza City Fest. Pizza Day really is the best day of the week (except when PieFest is in town of course). It's hard to imagine, but if you're pizza pooped out, you can always make a day of it on Catalina Island for their Inaugural Tamale Festival!
Brand Library Art Center has a dance series beginning with the bi-coastal, creative percussion company, DrumatiX. This show features an electrifying, well-crafted, and virtuosic creative percussion performance that blends tap dance, body percussion, and drumming with found items, invented instruments, large barrels, drums, buckets, technology, clowning, and audience interaction. Full of story and surprises, it'll be eclectic in the best ways.
Whether you’re bipedal or ready to pedal, do it on Ballona Creek, LA’s catchall drainage basin. The eight-mile Ballona Creek Trail and Bike Path was one of the first bicycle paths developed in the region. The path extends through the cities of Los Angeles and Culver City, passing by the Baldwin Hills and the Ballona Wetlands, and, at its terminus at Playa del Rey, connects to the beach bike path. If you're wheeling from last Saturday's CicLAvia Venice, this is a great way to keep the ride high going. It's an awesome outdoor route that's well-protected for all levels of bike riders.
