Of course it’s not even in Mar Vista, but if you’re looking for some family fun this weekend and don’t mind driving to downtown LA, I’d suggest the Go Green Expo. Located in the south hall of the LA Convention Center, the expo has tons of info about all aspects of green living, from solar installers to green pet food companies. And for the kids (and the kids at heart) there are a bunch of fun activities: Nintendo is hosting a Wii Fit demo, there’s a rock-climbing wall, and kids’ musical and magical performers will be on hand.

I got a preview of the expo on Friday as a guest of the promoters and had a great time. I sampled green foods (and some of other colors), got info about green products like re-usable water bottles and grocery bags, and learned about a great website called Greenopia, which is a guide to all things green in LA.

Check it out: Saturday from 10am – 6pm and Sunday from 10am – 5pm. Tickets are $10 for adults and kids under 12 are free.
