Memorial Day weekend serves as the unofficial start to the summer season and Angelenos couldn’t be more excited, which is why we’ve rounded up five haute things to do over the holiday weekend. From rooftop cocktails to a show at the Hollywood Bowl, there’s a little something for everyone.

It doesn’t get more quintessential LA than catching a show at the Hollywood Bowl. This Memorial Day weekend (Friday, May 25 and Saturday, May 26; 8:15 pm), Disney’s animated classic Beauty and the Beast comes to life on stage and you definitely don’t want to miss it. The show stars Zooey Deschanel as Belle, Kelsey Grammer as Lumiere, Taye Diggs as Gaston, Rebel Wilson as LeFou, Jane Krakowski as Mrs. Potts, and Anthony Evans as the Beast.
Go On A Malibu Wine Safari

If wine tasting, enjoying dreamy views, and feeding exotic animals sounds like a good time to you, make the drive up PCH on Memorial Day weekend for a Malibu Wine Safari. You’ll soak up the sunshine while cruising in an open-air safari truck through the lush Saddlerock Ranch and make pit stops to taste a variety of local wines and have a meet and feed with animals like zebras, alpacas, camels, and the famous Stanley the Giraffe.
Hang At The Haute Rooftop Of The InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown

Summer and rooftops go hand in hand, which is why penciling in a hangout session at one of LA’s cool rooftop spots is a must. Check out Spire 73 at InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown nestled atop the hotel’s 73rd floor making it the tallest open-air bar and lounge in the Western Hemisphere. Take in awe-inspiring views of the city, make s’mores with housemade marshmallows by the fire, sip cocktails and top-shelf whiskey, and nosh on shared plates. Now that’s what we call a good time.

Don’t let the long weekend pass you by without enjoying a good brunch with your best pals. Keep it light and healthy (remember you’re working on that beach body!) and hit up Gratitude Beverly Hills to enjoy an elevated plant-based breakfast. Menu highlights include chicken and waffles, eggs benedict, acai superfood bowls, and turmeric chia overnight oats.
Enjoy A Summer BBQ At The Peninsula Beverly Hills

The Peninsula Beverly Hills is kicking off Memorial Day weekend in style with a splashy summer barbecue at their Roof Garden restaurant. Eat dishes straight from the grill that take on a more elevated style than your typical barbecue bites. Look forward to coffee and chipotle smoked beef ribs, pabst blue ribbon beer can chicken, charred whole branzino, pulled pork biscuit, and housemade s’mores and apple pie for dessert. The best part? The fun doesn’t stop after the holiday weekend. You can swing by for summer barbecue every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night all summer long.
