CAMP AT YOUR OWN RISK! The Great Horror Campout is an overnight, immersive experience that puts campers into an interactive horror camping adventure. Whether campers decide to stay in their tents or venture into the darkness, they are fair game. You will be lured out of your tent one way or another. Whether it’s to participate in the “Hell Hunt,” use the restrooms, or just being dragged out by your sleeping bag, even campers who want to sleep or hang in their tent with friends will find themselves having to go into the dark sooner or later. Campers will be able to explore 32 acres of the Los Angeles State Historic Park for 12 hours where they will be able to confront every fear that haunted them as children and meet species that were only thought to have existed in legend!

Location: Los Angeles State Historic Park

1245 N Spring St., Los Angeles 90012

Date: June 7th – 8th

Time: 8pm – 8am

Not sure what to make for dinner on a Thursday night? Why not let the vendors at the Sunset Strip Market tempt you with their colorful arrangements; here you can bring home produce grown at local farms. If you are unsure how a vegetable or cheese tastes, be sure to ask for a sample. Start to unwind from the generosity as you make your way from booth to booth.
