1. Turkey Trot LA
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, this event supports The Midnight Mission – an amazing 4 Star Charity that offers a path to self-sufficiency for those experiencing homelessness. Donate or create a fundraising team during registration and help us reach our goal of raising $50,000, which equals over 33,000 meals. The team or individual that raises the most money (minimum $2,500) will be acknowledged on the start line stage to help kick off the race.
The 7th Annual Pacific Palisades Turkey Trot is here once again!
3. Hollywood's Haunted Walking Ghost Tour
Grab your cameras, ghost gear and otherworldly curiosity for a walking tour packed with haunted locations and scary stories in Los Angeles.

In between sights, you'll take a break at a haunted bar to make the rest of the journey extra enjoyable. Meet at the Sweet! Hollywood candy store in the Hollywood and Highland Mall for a stroll through Hollywood with the ghost hosts with the most.
