Welcome listeners to Things to Do in Los Angeles! Ollie Bennet here, your roving sports nut turned event-hunting adventurer, ready to launch you into the wild, wonderful world of L.A.—and today is Monday, November 24, 2025. The city is waking up under those famously blue Southern California skies, with a crisp chill reminding everyone it’s finally fall. There’s a buzz in the air as Thanksgiving week kicks off—so whether you’re a culture vulture, a party panda, or just in it for the weird and wonderful, LA’s got you covered today.Let’s start with the main attractions zapping energy all over town right now. Starlit spectacle seekers, tonight’s a dream: the magical Enchant LA festival at Santa Anita Park is dazzling with the world’s largest Christmas light maze, open from 4:30 to 9:30 pm. This sparkling wonderland comes with glühwein in both hands and selfie ops galore, so even your grumpiest Uncle Greg can’t resist. Sports fanatics, paint your face! The Los Angeles Rams take on Tom Brady’s old squad, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, at SoFi Stadium at 5:20 pm. This one’s not just a regular game—it’s the Aaron Donald Celebration Game, so expect some wild halftime love for #99.For the music lovers, tonight cranks up with two treats. Al Jardine, legendary surfer and Beach Boy, is onstage at the Cerritos Center at 7 pm. Down in DTLA, Sabrina Carpenter brings the pop fireworks to Crypto.com Arena–a night for serious singalongs if you know your TikTok choruses. Maybe you’re more of a night owl tearing up the sidewalks after dark? Slide into the Whisky a Go Go for Bao’s Emo Goth Party at 6:30 pm, where the eyeliner is as thick as the nostalgia and the beats are pure 2000s throwback.The art scene is rolling, too. Freddy Villalobos gets star billing at the Hammer Museum’s lunchtime talk—you’ll find out why “Made in L.A.” isn’t just a slogan but a statement. If you’re keen for cinematic chills, the Academy Museum is screening “Darkest Hour” in 4K Dolby Vision, a World War II thriller that’s about as far from your average Monday as you can get.Hot off the griddle in local news: the LA Auto Show revs up at the Convention Center today from 9 am to 4 pm. Even if you don’t know your turbo from your targa, there are enough shiny wheels and wild concept cars to keep your inner kid absolutely giddy. Word on the taco truck circuit is there’s a new pop-up in Highland Park fusing Szechuan spice with Oaxacan cheese—go hungry. And if you’re planning on zipping around, Metro just launched extra night rides for the week, making it even easier to bounce from venue to venue.If you’re feeling a bit touristy but want to dodge the crowds, hike up Griffith Park for sunrise views, or try the hidden staircase walk in Silver Lake—locally approved and super Instagrammable. Fancy a twist? The LA Zoo’s holiday light show sprawls out after sunset, and if you spot a giraffe grooving near a disco ball, don’t blame me, blame the eggnog.Here’s your local fun fact: In Los Angeles, it’s technically illegal to lick a toad. No kidding! It’s an old law aimed at stopping wild teenage hallucination parties back in the ‘60s. Only in L.A.Before I let you go, tomorrow brings even more madness—Dungeons & Dragons takes over the Ricardo Montalban Theatre with an interactive show that’ll make your dice quiver, and Of Monsters and Men thunder into the Hollywood Palladium. Catch me there with a foam sword and a dancing shoes combo.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.
