There&#8217;s no doubt you&#8217;ll be inspired by the talent of our local youth if you make the time to check it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibit is at the Edison Theater, 213 East Broadway, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. RSVP <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/music-to-my-eyes-student-exhibition-tickets-1926234953599\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-an-enormous-entrancing-festival-friday-nov-21-and-saturday-nov-22\">An enormous, entrancing festival (Friday, Nov. 21 and Saturday, Nov. 22)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dreamstate SoCal 2025 Announce Video\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8LvYKjmK4GM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m going to be real up-front here and admit I&#8217;ve never been to a trance festival \u2014 but it looks like a surreal experience with no equal, especially when it&#8217;s at the Queen Mary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Insomniac, the giant electronic music events promoter, is bringing its Dreamstate festival back to Long Beach this weekend.
