Grab a Day Pass and enjoy the weekend.

There’s so much Metro accessible stuff going on this weekend it’s a wonder anyone thinks they need a car to have fun in L.A. Friday and Saturday are chock full of events, from concerts to pre-Oscars screenings and discussions. Plus, don’t forget to make time on Saturday or Sunday to take one of Metro’s FREE art tours of the system, put on by the Metro Art Docent Council.  Have an event you’d like us to include? Shoot us an email at thesource@metro.net. Time and space constraints limit us from listing every accessible event in this city, but this curated list represents what we think is cool and easy to get to.

To plan your trip and to check all other transit options, please consult Google Transit or the Metro Trip Planner.
