Sunday, September 27, 2026 Art Parties & Events finishes off another beautiful weekend in Los Angeles filled with arts. While we also have a foodie event as well as a wine and painting too, I want to tout the talents of Musician/Singer/Songwriter Cory Henry. The Grammy winner has a new residency at the Blue Note LA. I have had the chance to attend his shows personally hence I can attest to his immense talent.
I do have some sad news to share – the annual Abbot Kinney Festival has been canceled for 2026. This has happened before, hopefully, they will be back for 2027. Read more about it on their website – https://www.abbotkinneyfest.com
