Latin Music Appreciation Day at GRAMMY Museum

The GRAMMY Museum is turning the whole building over to Latin music on Sunday, November 8. Latin Music Appreciation Day is a daylong celebration timed to the Latin Grammys, and it is the kind of outing that earns a spot on any list of LA events this weekend if you like music you can dance to and a day out the kids will not complain about.

When: Sunday, November 8, 2026, 10 AM to 5 PM Where: GRAMMY Museum L.A. Live, 800 W Olympic Blvd, Downtown Los Angeles Cost: Included with general admission Ages: All ages

What is on the schedule

Programming spreads across the museum, including the Clive Davis Theater and the Ray Charles Terrace. The listing names a children's and family program with Lucky Diaz, salsa and bachata dance lessons led by 3rd Street Dance, and a DJ set to keep the energy up between sessions.

The live highlight is a performance by members of Ozomatli, the Los Angeles band known for blending Latin rhythms with hip-hop and funk. It is curated by Crear Música, part of the Recording Academy's DREAM Network. The listing does not publish set times, so check the museum's own schedule when you arrive.

Why it works for families

Most of the activities are built for all ages, so a toddler can bounce along to the family set while older kids and adults try a salsa step. Between sessions you can wander the museum's exhibits and interactive spaces, which makes this an easy way to stretch a morning into a full day. Among the things happening in Los Angeles this month, it is one of the more approachable cultural picks for a mixed-age group.

Practical info

Activities are included with museum admission, so there is no separate ticket for the programming. RSVPs are encouraged but not required, and guests who RSVP receive priority entry. The museum sits at L.A. Live across from the Convention Center, so Metro A and E Line riders can get off at Pico and walk a couple of blocks. Parking in the L.A. Live garages fills up on busy days, and the pricing varies, so transit is often the easier choice. Dates and times are subject to change, so confirm on the organizer's page before you go.
