Best things to do this weekend in LA and SoCal: September 6 - 8

Finding creative ways to beat the heat is quickly becoming L.A.’s favorite September activity, and at LAist we always have great tips for staying cool, like keeping your lotions in the fridge, closing the curtains, and eating spicy foods (as if we needed an excuse on that one). Remember, if you are in a dangerously hot zone and don’t have access to air conditioning, you can always find a local cooling center in your area.

You can also take a drive up to the mountains on a car camping trip with Great Outdoors – the high at Mt. Pinos is a relatively cool 78 degrees on Friday. Or head to the air-conditioned comfort of the Only Murders In the Building Escape room. There’s also an innovative L.A. Dance Project performance, and Cary Elwes will be on hand for a screening of The Princess Bride in Cerritos.
