Welcome to 'Things to do in Los Angeles' on this dynamic Thursday, January 9th, 2025 As we kick off the new year, Los Angeles is buzzing with energy, despite the challenging weather conditions. Today, the city is grappling with severe wildfires fueled by strong winds, affecting various areas including Pacific Palisades, San Fernando, and Altadena. The air quality is poor, and several school districts have announced closures or remote learning due to the fires.

Despite these challenges, there's still a plethora of exciting events to explore. Here are a few key happenings today:

For anime enthusiasts, the Animé Los Angeles convention is in full swing at the Long Beach Convention Center. This 4-day event features over 200 participant artists, cosplay contests, tabletop gaming, a Manga Lounge, and more. If you're looking for something unique, the Oddities & Curiosities Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center offers a fascinating array of rare and handcrafted items, along with tarot readings and sideshow performers.

For music lovers, Tommy Emmanuel, CGP, is performing at the Pepperdine University Center for the Arts, promising an evening of exceptional guitar work.

If you're seeking a family-friendly activity, although it's not happening today, keep in mind the upcoming Japanese New Year at The Huntington on January 12, which includes traditional activities like taiko drumming, botanical craft-making, and a mochi-pounding demonstration.

In terms of local news, the wildfires are the dominant concern, with firefighters working tirelessly to contain the blazes. On a more positive note, Smorgasburg Los Angeles continues to be a weekly highlight, offering a diverse range of food vendors every Sunday in Downtown Los Angeles. For a hidden gem, consider exploring Thai Town, where you can experience the best Thai food in America, from creamy Thai coffees to delicious papaya salad and coconut fritters.

Here’s a local tip: To navigate like a local, especially during crowded events, use the Metro system, which provides convenient access to many of the city's attractions. For instance, the Oshogatsu Family Festival in Little Tokyo and the New Year Night Market at Superchief Gallery LA are both easily accessible via Metro.

As we wrap up today's activities, keep an eye out for tomorrow's events. The Yoga on the Mountain series at King Gillette Ranch and the New Year Night Market at Superchief Gallery LA are just around the corner. Stay tuned for more updates and exciting activities in the City of Angels!

Until next time, stay safe, and enjoy all that Los Angeles has to offer
