Coming Attractions: Baby Loves Disco; Halloween & Mourning Tours; Artisanal LA


Ready to rock out with the kiddo for a great cause? Well, Baby Loves Disco -- that awesome dance party in the daytime -- is once again hitting Los Angeles, and parents, grandparents, toddlers and preschoolers are invited to join the fun Sunday, Oct. 24 from 12 p.m.-3 p.m. at Cinespace.

The event, presented by clothing retailer H&M, is making its way across the country on a special Lemonade Tour to benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports research to combat childhood cancer.

Baby Loves Disco, which got its start in Philly five years ago, has DJs spinning tunes from the '70s, '80s and today, transforming rockin' venues into child-proof discos. Now that definitely rocks!

Looking for an alternative to the Halloween pumpkin patch? Heritage Square Museum -- home to a variety of Victorian-era houses -- is hosting its seventh annual Halloween & Mourning Tours on Oct. 23-24 from 12 p.m.- 4 p.m. each day.

Get your ghost on at this spooky event, which will even play host to a paranormal investigation performed in partnership with the International Community for Paranormal Investigation and Research. Eek!

On Sunday, Oct. 24, the festivities will include kid-friendly activities. Children are encouraged to come in costume to the museum, where they can play period games, create 19th-century-inspired crafts, pick a pumpkin and listen to ghost stories from the San Gabriel Family Storytellers.
