### Grouped Post E: "What's Not Open This Week"

**⚠️ Not Operating This Week (or Confirmed Hiatus)**

A few markets that normally show up on the westside calendar are off this week:

🔇 **Pacific Palisades Farmers Market** — on hiatus since the January 2025 fire. Community events are now organized by Resilient Palisades — check their site for July 5 events at the Village Green (15280 Sunset Blvd).

🔇 **Marina del Rey** — no confirmed Sunday market on the LACITY roster for this week.

If you're a regular at either of those, this is the week to skip or pivot to one of the Sunday westside options.
