Carmageddon is quickly approaching. My suggestion stay home but if you have the need to travel I have listed several free and affordable places South of 405 from the 105 freeway. N'Joy
A concert that the kids will enjoy is the Next Big Thing Tour. They will be doing three free performance. Saturday, July 16th, 2011 Westfield Santa Anita � 1:00pm Amber Lily & Coco Jones perform
Saturday, July 23rd, 2011 Westfield Mainplace � 1:00pm Amber Lily & Coco Jones perform
Saturday, July 30th, 2011 Westfield West Covina� 1:00pm Sacha Edwards & Coco Jones perform.
If you want to get away how about a trip to the OC and take a ride in the Great Park Balloon. "The Great Park Balloon is one of the largest tethered helium (not hotair) balloons and the first of its kind in the United States." The Great Park Balloon is located in Irvine off the 405 South. This is far from carmageddon.
A cool affordable activity is to take a tour at the Angel's Stadium. This tour will allow you to see behind the scenes and tour angel stadium. The cost is $3 dollars for adults and $2 dollars for children. During off season you can visit every Tuesday during the season you can visit Tuesday's and Wednesday's. This will be a good place to go during the week when you are planning for that crazy carmageddon weekend.
How about a nice Hike or Bike by the beach in the OC. Orange County parks are the best place to do this. A good park to go to for some hiking in the OC is the Bolsa Chica Slough Trail. The trail is near the beach, it is only 1.7 miles and its great exercise. If you choose to go to the beach, Newport and Belmont Shore is nearby.
There are several free concerts around LA and Orange County. There is the Music by the Sea which is every Sunday in San Pedro. Summer and Music Concerts in Long Beach, and in the OC. Concerts are around Orange County in various places. Check it out http://www.ocdogfriendly.com/summerconcerts.html.
The San Clemente Ocean Festival may be a nice outing and it's free they will have competitions and races, tons of kid activities, and free concerts. The cool thing about this festival is that there will be a sand sculpting competition. Entry Fee is $25 dollars for a team and a team can be up to 10 people. http://www.oceanfestival.org/index.htm
If you live North of the 405 past the 101 there are few events that a person can attend during the carmageddon weekend. Movies on the Green @ Warner Center Park every Saturday evening and concerts every Sunday evenings.
