Coming November Events in Los Angeles County
Nov. 02, 2015
Los Angeles County, with an estimated population of more than 10 million as of 2014, is the most populous county in the United States and is more populous than 43 individual states. It is composed of a staggering number of cities (88) and many unincorporated areas. The county even includes two offshore islands, San Clemente and Santa Catalina.
With the amazing fact that over one-quarter of California residents live in this one county, it’s not surprising that there’s a wide variety of art, theater and cultural activities.
Here are just a few November events that you might want to put on your calendar:
