So Many Unique Events in El Segundo This Week!

Hello, Gundo 👋 

We’ve got a really great week of unique events in town. And — though we know this is controversial — a few great events happening just outside of town.

No matter what interests you, this is a great week to try something new in El Segundo.

As always, if anything new pops up, we’ll share it on the Hello Gundo Instagram.

-Sam & Angie Greenspan

WHAT’S HAPPENIN’

We follow 150+ Instagram accounts, Facebook pages and groups, websites, and email lists to put together this comprehensive guide to everything happening in El Segundo this week.

Though we strive for 100% accuracy, as we all know too well: Schedules are subject to change. All event details are based on latest information on websites/social media. We’ve also called, DMed, and/or visited to confirm whenever possible.
