Welcome to the weekend – the perfect opportunity to Go Metro. Why? Because of all the Metro accessible events, like the X-Games, free concerts just off the Gold Line, a neighborhood fair in Los Feliz and a collective jam (the kind you put on toast) making session at LACMA.

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.
