The following is a curated roundup of weekend events in Long Beach published every Wednesday on the Hi-lo\/Long Beach Post. Have an event to share? Email <\/i>cheantay@lbpost.com<\/a><\/i> with \u201cThings to Do\u201d in the subject line.<\/i><\/p>\n

Welcome to what will (hopefully) be a nice long three-day Memorial Day weekend. Those looking for some high-flying Memorial Day festivities might consider checking out L.A. Fleet Week in San Pedro\u2014more on that below.<\/p>\n

But for those looking to just get out and about this weekend, we’ve found some great outdoor events, like Fourth Fridays on Retro Row and the return of the Patchwork Show Makers Festival, an expansive craft market that comes to Long Beach twice a year.<\/p>\n

For the kiddos, we’ve found a family-friendly (and free) concert at El Dorado Park. And for our DIY art fans, the L.A. Zine Fest is landing in Long Beach on Sunday, May 28.<\/p>\n

Check out all that Retro Row’s shops and restaurants have to offer during Fourth Fridays, which this month lands on Friday, May 26.<\/p>\n

All along Fourth Street between Hermosa and Temple avenues, businesses open up their doors or set up shop on the sidewalk offering special promotions or discounts. There’s often live music, artist pop-ups and various activities for kids.<\/p>\n

Fourth Friday is from 6-9 p.m. Click here<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

Retro Row spans the length of Fourth Street between Temple and Hermosa avenues, but a good place to start is at the Art Theatre of Long Beach at 2025 E. Fourth St.<\/em><\/p>\n
