The scurriest 'n furriest place in Los Angeles, starting on Sept. 17? It's this eight-legged land o' critters, and by"land" we do mean a pop-up pavilion outside of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. You'll need to also purchase museum admission when buying your Spider Pavilion ticket. Prepare for oodles of orb weavers, some tarantulas, too, and, oh yes, jumping spiders.
A free airy pedestrian party, one where cyclists and skaters are invited but motorized traffic is not? That's what is happening along lively Lankershim Boulevard on Sunday, Sept. 17. The shorter CicLAvia-backed gathering — think a mile — will still run from 9 a.m. to 3 o'clock, giving you more time to cover the entire route and swing by some of the local restaurants and shops, too. There's a Metro stop, too, nearby, if you'd like to take the train to and from.
