DJ Illijah Beats at Townhouse Venice

When: Friday, October 16, 2026, 10 PM to 2 AM Where: Townhouse Venice, 52 Windward Ave, Venice Price: Free

DJ Illijah Beats takes the decks at Townhouse Venice on Friday night, and it costs nothing to get in. The set runs from 10 PM until 2 AM, which gives you a full four hours of music in one of the most recognizable corners of the Westside. If you are putting together LA events this weekend, this is an easy one to slot in.

What to expect

The listing is short on detail. It names the DJ, the venue, the hours and the free price, and that is all the source publishes. There is no announced lineup beyond the headliner and no published theme, so treat this as a straightforward late-night DJ set rather than a ticketed production. That suits a Friday: show up, order a drink, and let the room fill in around the music.

A four-hour window also means you do not have to arrive at 10 sharp. Plenty of people drift in later, and the second half of the night is usually where a DJ room finds its energy. Plan around that if you are coming from dinner or another stop.

Getting there

Townhouse sits at 52 Windward Ave, a block from the Venice Boardwalk. Street parking nearby is tight on weekend nights, and the lots around the beach charge flat evening rates, so a rideshare or a walk from a nearby stop usually saves time. If you are staying in Venice already, it is an easy stroll.

Because entry is listed as free on DICE, there may still be a line when the room is busy. Bring a valid ID, since it is a bar, and check the DICE page before you head out in case the hours or details change.

Why it fits the weekend

Free nights are the backbone of nightlife in a city this big, and they are a good way to sample a DJ you have not heard before. Not every outing has to be a festival or a sold-out club date. Among the things to do in Los Angeles on a Friday, a no-cover set steps away from the sand is a low-commitment option, and you can leave whenever the night has run its course.

For people who follow EDM in Los Angeles more broadly, this is a small-room counterpart to the big warehouse and festival bills. Browse the rest of our EDM listings for bigger nights, or look at the Venice neighborhood page for other plans nearby.

Practical notes

• Doors and set times come from the DICE listing, so confirm there before you go.
• The event is listed as free, with no ticket purchase described.
• Venice nights run cool near the coast, so bring a layer if you plan to walk the boardwalk first.
