LAWeekly Instagram: Featuring the culture of LA since 1978 ✌️

The World Cup has brought an endless party atmosph The World Cup has brought an endless party atmosphere to LA, and few events capture that spirit like Copa del Rave. What began in 2019 as a music-industry charity soccer tournament has evolved into a full-scale cultural activation, transforming Academy and Exchange into matchday destinations where giant screens, world-class DJs and local party crews celebrate the nations competing on the pitch. Artists like Claude VonStroke, DJ Minx, BOLO, Ardalan and Todd Edwards join curator crews including Vibraza Records, Haitian Spotlight, Reggaeton Rave and Afrobeats To The World to create immersive experiences with music, specialty drinks and LA food trucks. The residency supports Common Goal, helping expand access to soccer for kids worldwide. "You throw in a last-minute goal, or a big win, and it's a recipe for a really good party," says co-founder Alastair Duncan. @copadelrave @bolothedj @haitianspotlight.la @infamouspr @commongoalorg Read the story and see the photos thru @laweekly ✍️ @boyface_ 📸 Indoors: @matttvela Outdoors: Pedro Hernandez
What started as a wildly popular Instagram account What started as a wildly popular Instagram account has grown into one of LA’s most engaging walking tours. Founded by Charlie Ryan and Thom Vest, LA Explained has expanded from celebrating the city’s past, present, and future online into immersive tours that have attracted about 2,500 walkers since the beginning of the year. Led by LA native Charlie Ryan, the meticulously researched tours explore neighborhoods including Rustic Canyon, Echo Park, Hollywoodland, Venice Beach, Angelino Heights, Hancock Park, and Silver Lake, with a new Highland Park tour on the way. Ryan says the tours attract “an eclectic cross-section of walkers obsessed with LA” and often spark lively conversations. @laexplained Read the article and see the photos thru @laweekly ✍️ @michelestueven 📸 @laexplained
Dubbed by William S. Burroughs as “The Pope of Tra Dubbed by William S. Burroughs as “The Pope of Trash,” John Waters sees two more of his films join the Criterion Collection on June 23: "Hairspray" and "Desperate Living." While "Hairspray" became Waters’ biggest hit at the time, the filmmaker recalls its roots in Baltimore’s "The Buddy Deane Show," where he once got thrown off the air for doing the Bodie Green. He also reflects on Tracy Turnblad’s role as a champion for outsiders and remembers the Dreamlanders, including Divine and Mink Stole, who helped define his work. On the other end of the spectrum is "Desperate Living," the director’s outrageous “shriek of rage,” filled with revolutions, rat breakfasts and unforgettable one-liners. Waters revisits the making of the film and the anything-goes spirit that fueled his early career, laughing as he recalls, “I used to go shoplifting with her. We were good at it,” about longtime collaborator Mink Stole. At 80, Waters still embraces his reputation as “The Pope of Trash.” For Stole, his appeal has never changed: “I just never knew anybody like him. He was motivated, he was focused, he was self-directed, he was confident.” @criterioncollection Read the article and see the photos thru @laweekly ✍️ @jr53o 📸 Waters: @greggormanphoto Stills courtesy of Criterion Collection
Since launching in 2010, the Hollywood Fringe Fest Since launching in 2010, the Hollywood Fringe Festival has served as a proving ground for some of Los Angeles’s most daring live performances, and few corners of the festival have evolved as dramatically as clowning. What was once a niche discipline has grown into one of its most vibrant and inventive features. We’re not talking about bonk-on-the-head, flower-squirt-in-the-eye Ronald McDonald clowning here — contemporary clown shows blend physical comedy, improvisation, audience interaction and experimental theater, creating performances that can be hilarious, uncomfortable, moving and unpredictable all at once. Running now through June 28, Hollywood Fringe is a great place to check out some of clown's biggest names, and some up-and-comers just before they become big-time. @hollywoodfringe Here's a sampling of some shows you should see, and see the full list thru @laweekly ✍️ @boyface_ 📸 1: Photo by @softknox courtesy of @verocherryclown 2: @acid_reflux_molly by @shromcom 3: @alexnauta by @arianahoshino 4: @tiredjustwakeup & @levinep90 by @adambussell 5: @mrdeanevans by @marianovastudio 6: @farhan__inc by Issy Walker 7: @corndudemax by @alexgolshani 8: @the_proactive_pessimist by @stagetone.studio 9: @sjgeez 10: Brian Byrne by Bradyn Woods
