Tiësto, who has worked with popular artists such Kanye West, Katy Perry and Coldplay, continues to take the EDM world by storm.

NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER LOVER’S DAY

Friday, March 1 to Sunday, March 3

Essential Chocolate Desserts

It’s that time of the year again — National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day! If you’re stressing over how to celebrate this particularly nutty holiday, Essential Chocolate Desserts in Culver City is offering a wide variety of treats including peanut butter bars, cookies, ice cream, cheesecake and more.  If you’re in the middle of midterms and can’t get out this weekend, grab a spoon and a jar of peanut butter and have your own PB party!

DOWNTOWN BOOKFEST

Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Grand Park, 200 N. Grand Ave.

Hungry for literature? Read your heart out at the Downtown BookFest in Grand Park. The all-day event will host independent author readings, book-making demonstrations and performances. If you’re looking to discover new books, The Last Bookstore in collaboration with Writ Large will be hosting a pop-up bookstore in the park, which will feature select independent and used books. If you go but don’t necessarily want to purchase a book, you also have the option of curling up on the grass with a book borrowed from one of the four miniature lending libraries that will be set up. Finally, for those who have more than a figurative hunger for something, never fear, there will be food trucks on site to satisfy empty stomachs.

 

THIS IS YOUR LIBRARY

Saturday, starting at 7:30 p.m.

Historical Central Library

Night at the Museum? Try night at the library. The Historic Central Library dims the lights for the second installment of its late-night talk show series This is Your Library. The program spotlights well-known and not-so-well-known Angelenos talking about who they are, what they do and how living in Los Angeles has made their dreams possible. The night will feature musician Exene Cervenka, novelist and veteran Los Angeles Times writer Hector Tobar, City Librarian of the Los Angeles Public Library John Szabo and director-writer-producer Mike White, in addition to psych rockers Feeding People.
