Sunday
 · Are there any more festivals going on this weekend, you may ask? Of course there are, as an obscure Venice' thoroughfare is closed off for the 23rd Abbot Kinney Festival, featuring the expected mix of music, art, and stalls selling funnel cakes and/or dreamcatchers.
· If Venice is too far, there's always the Grand Avenue Festival downtown to satisfy eastsiders' communal gathering needs.
· And lastly, there's the West Hollywood Book Fair at West Hollywood Park to further splinter Sunday afternoon's festival-going community.
