Numerous weekend events across the Southland have been postponed, canceled or revised ahead of Sunday’s expected landfall of Hurricane Hilary — and more events figure to join the list.
Here is a roundup of what has been put on hold as the Southland braces for the storm:
“While CicLAvia has always gone on rain or shine, the weather on Sunday is just too unpredictable,” organizers said in a statement. “The forecast indicates that heavy rain will not fall until later in the day on Sunday, but for the safety of everyone coming from near and far, CicLAvia- Koreatown meets Hollywood has been canceled.”
— LAFC: The Los Angeles Football Club-Colorado Rapids game scheduled for Sunday has been postponed to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. Tickets purchased for Sunday’s match will be honored for the rescheduled game on Wednesday.
— Galaxy: Sunday’s game between the Los Angeles Galaxy and Real Salt Lake at Dignity Health Sports Park has been rescheduled for Oct. 14. The rescheduled game will also include the induction of the late coach Sigi Schmid into the club’s Ring of Honor as had been planned for Sunday.
Tickets originally purchased for the Sunday date will be honored for the rescheduled date.
— The University of Southern California women’s soccer match against Georgia, originally scheduled for Sunday at noon, was canceled. No makeup date was set for the non-conference competition. All fans who have purchased tickets will be given an automatic refund and a complimentary ticket to the match on Sunday, Oct. 8 against Oregon State.
— The Magic Castle will close down Sunday for both brunch and dinner.
— Los Alamitos Race Course in Cypress canceled its Sunday night race card and will be closed all day.
— Gloria Molina Grand Park’s Sunday Sessions will be held on a virtual basis from 3-8 p.m. at twitch.tv/grandpark_la. The event will be headlined by DJ Rich Medina with virtual offerings from DJ Roxcizzle, Lacey IQ, the Texas-born, Los Angeles-settled electronic music creator remixer and DJ, KG Superstar and DJ Adé.
The Park team was prepared to undertake numerous precautions to allow the event to proceed on Sunday. However, with input from its safety and security partners, including the intelligence and data from the National Weather Service’s precise monitoring system, the park team determined the closure was in the best interest of all onsite.
— Sunday’s planned Guatemalan music concert at Levitt Pavilion in McArthur Park featuring Sara Curruchich, DJ Boris and Los Chapincitos Los Angeles has been canceled.
