Hello Gundo
April 03, 2025

Hello, Gundo 👋 

Even as the schools are about to head out on spring break there’s still always so much to do around El Segundo. This week we’ve got restaurant openings, card shows, arts and crafts fairs, and all the comedy, trivia, live music, karaoke, and skating you could want.

As always, we aim to include every possible event in this newsletter. But when things pop up last minute or details change, we’ll always keep you posted on our Hello Gundo Instagram.

Here’s what’s happening around the neighborhood this week.
