There are many great things to do in Los Angeles once you leave the LAX parking lot.

These shows include jazz, world music, and classical music performances; dance; theater; films; choral events; and family shows. Information about upcoming shows can be found at www.fordamphitheatre.org. Check out the price before you go to the performance, some of them may have a fee. Be sure to check out the park after you leave LAX parking.

San Dimas Music in the Park
