I love me a festival. This weekend there are two to choose from:
Los Angeles Korean Festival
This is the 33rd year of the LA Korean Festival, and though I've lived in LA my whole life, somehow I've never been. You can bet I'm going change that this year. Korean food (yum), a market fair, music, carnival rides and a parade on Sunday - sounds like fun for the whole family.
Seoul International Park at 3250 San Marino St. in Koreatown. Thursday - Sunday beginning at 11am daily.
San Gennaro Festival
Celebrate Italian culture through food, music and carnival games at the 5th Annual San Gennaro Festival.
1651 Highland Ave. behind "Jimmy Kimmel Live" Studio on Hawthorn. $5 donation. Friday - Sunday from 10am - 11pm.
