We haven't had the chance, on the count of indigestion; at least that's why some of our staff couldn't make it to this colorful event known as the Second Home Serpentine Pavilion
Now- Nov 24
Open 11 am to 7 pm daily, open until 9 pm Fridays
La Brea Tar Pits, Use their parking lots
Free, Gotta RSVP
Walk-ins too, but all our timed
So, basically it's a crazy colorful tent paradise to get your picture taken at multiple times. Explore, contemplate, enjoy simply being alive. Oh, and TAKE PICTURES!
For a limited time, explore SelgasCano’s standout architectural
creation, up close and personal. Each of the rainbow tunnels takes you
on different journey. There are multiple ways to wander, and many
entrances and exits, but they all emanate from a center area where
you'll be immersed in stained glass light. The pavilion experience
shifts from day to night—natural light seeps through translucent walls
by day, and glowing lights illuminate its colors and surfaces once the
sun goes down.
Check the official site for special events being held throughout it's stay. And don't complain about LA not having culture or events! We had a free big tent (not a circus) near a museum.

Set strangers on fire AND support science, technology,
engineering, arts, and math in schools? Hurry up and take our money! Things To
Do In LA recently attended the Two Bit Circus Foundation’s 2019 Anti-Gala in
Downtown Los Angeles.
I totally trust this guy with my charitable contributions
Wow! Two Bit Circus sure knows how to put the fun in
fundraiser! Yes, we know that’s a terrible line, but it’s a great description
of the evening. Start off with the standard Two Bit Circus experience — arcade
games, escape rooms, virtual reality, augmented reality, modernized Midway-style
games, and game shows — as a base, and then mix in Le PeTiT CiRqUe artists, garnish
with the Dunk Tank Flambé, and finish things off a mime-hosted SUPER Silent
Auction. All this and more to benefit innovative science, technology,
engineering, [art], math STEM/STE[A]M programs in education!
Le PeTiT CiRqUe is an award-winning company of
pre-professional 6-15 year old cirque artists. Think Cirque du Soleil, but
smaller, much smaller. One could even say “ces artistes de cirque sont très
petits.” True to the company name, at least one performer could fold-up into a box
for easy storage and transportation. Convenient!
Le PeTiT CiRqUe performer in a box!
The Super Silent Auction was a silent auction hosted by a
mime. Everyone loves mimes, and mimes love science, technology, engineering,
art, and math education! Silent auction items ranged from sports memorabilia, for
example, signed Sugar Ray Leonard boxing gloves, and a Kyle Kuzma basketball to
gift baskets and collectables, to hard-to-find items such as tickets for LA’s
Magic Castle. TTDILA tip — tickets to the Magic Castle can be hard to score, so charitable
auctions are the way to go if you don’t have a magician hook-up.
Dunk Tank Flambé is a twisted take on the classic carnival
dunk tank. Instead of dunking a person into a pool of water, the person to be “dunked”
dons a fire retardant suit and is then set on fire repeatedly. The crowd loved
the Dunk Tank Flambé! The show happened every half hour and was packed every time.
Louisiana Love Act
Entertainment also included Louisiana Love Act playing
instruments made from found materials, and guest DJ Arabian Prince, a founding
member of N.W.A.!
TTDILA staff are not the only people who wanted to support
education by playing video games, drinking robot bartender prepared beverages,
and lighting strangers on fire (for charity of course). The crowd was full of
happy, smiling faces, and event sponsors included Vans, AT&T, YouTube,
KMPG, Wells Fargo, and others. We expect great things from Two Bit Circus in
2020!
Single admission tickets started off at $125 for the October
14 event and included complimentary valet parking (first come, first serve).
As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, the Two Bit Circus Foundation provides
educational opportunities for under-served youth in Los Angeles and around the
world through their innovative Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math
programming. To date, the foundation has introduced more than 300,000 students
to STEM/STEAM education, through innovative on-and-off campus classroom and
after-school science programs. The foundation has also created more than 140
Makerspaces, portable carts loaded with tools and materials for hands-on
STEM/STEAM learning experiences. The Two Bit Circus Foundation has some
ambitious projects on the horizon, including a new Makerspace to be located in
the Koreatown branch of the LA Public Library.
