Free kids activities and family events in Los Angeles this week, hand-picked and verified by Cyrusmeowgreat, a Southern California children’s-wellbeing nonprofit. Free to attend, no account, no ads.
Los Angeles has a free family event somewhere almost every day: the county and city library systems run hundreds of children’s programs a month, the parks host free summer concerts and movie nights, museums across the city offer free days or are free year-round, and neighborhoods from Pasadena to the South Bay stage festivals, farmers-market kids’ days and holiday events. Below are the next confirmed free events in the LA area; the app has the rest.
These are the next few. The app carries the full Los Angeles list, with maps and directions, and updates as new events are confirmed.

In Los Angeles the free staples are the Los Angeles Public Library and LA County Library branches, the always-free museums such as the Getty and the Broad, the free days at the Natural History Museum, the California Science Center, LACMA and others when announced, Griffith Park and the county parks, the Levitt Pavilion and other free summer concert series, Grand Park and Union Station events downtown, and the recreation programs run by the city and the many independent cities in the county.
We verify each Los Angeles event on the organizer’s own page before listing it and carry the caveats a parent needs — paid parking, timed-entry reservations for free days, and the age range an activity suits. Cancelled or moved events drop off the list rather than staying up.
Cyrusmeowgreat is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 33-2415944). Our mission is to improve the psychological wellbeing of children and families, especially children facing illness, through community outreach led by Cyrus the Persian Cat. A free afternoon at a park concert or a library craft table is a small, real support for a family, and cost should never be the barrier. This guide is one of our community programs, and it is free to everyone. Read more about the app, or see where Cyrus appears in person.
