Love After Dark: Griffith Park Sunset Hike
7:15 pm
Griffith Park
Los Angeles is a city that loves to be seen—and where better to take in the view than from one of its most famous lookouts? We’ll take a hike through the canyons of Griffith Park and wind up at the Observatory, where you can gaze to the sea through on-site binoculars, or stretch out on picnic blankets and stare all the way up to the stars. We’ll bring some snacks, but feel free to add your own provisions! Questions? Email [email protected].
Hosted by East Side Jews and Wilshire Boulevard Temple, with support from Pico Union Project.

LoveFest Garden Cocktail Party
8:00 pm
Pico-Robertson area
$15 in advance, $20 at the door
Celebrate an auspicious night for a moondance (it's the full moon) with the stars above in your eyes, a fantabulous night to celebrate romance, beneath the cover of July skies. Celebrate the mysterious ancient day of joy and matchmaking on the Jewish calendar, Tu B’Av, a time when eligible young maidens and bachelors would meet in the vineyards to find their soulmates. How is it that this one was overlooked in Hebrew School? Come mingle at our garden party, sip signature exotic cocktails, be serenaded by romantic live music, and enjoy a delightful summer evening. So, will you give love a chance?
Hosted by Pico Shul and JConnect, and sponsored in memory of Linda Einbinder.
