50 Marvelous Things To Do In March In L.A.

So many incredible choices…

March is a wonderful time of year, colorful blossoms add pops of color to the city as spring begins to trickle in and we turn our focus to the inspiring women that have shaped the city in honor of Women’s History Month. This healthy dose of inspiration is balanced out with the raucous celebrations of Saint Patrick’s Day, characterized by an overflow of luminous green libations. While things might not be the same this year, things are set to be just as festive.

So whether it’s a fierce performance from the RuPaul queens, a new Hollywood feature film al fresco, a wander through a hidden outdoor landscape, or supporting some of the incredible female-owned businesses in the city, there are a plethora of ways to revive up your socially-distanced calendar. Here are our favorite activities happening in L.A. this month:
