Happy 4th of July Eve, CurationsLA Fam! Whether you're traveling or staying local, we’ve rounded up Good Vibes across the city for the holiday weekend. Congrats to Clayton Kershaw on joining the 3k strikeout club in last night’s Dodgers win. A quick fun fact: I recently learned that I’m related to former Angels and Dodgers pitcher Art Fowler (though I inherited none of the athletic genes). Stay safe, especially with fireworks and outdoor lights, as the Madre Fire near Santa Barbara continues to grow. Back in your inbox on Tuesday — Wyatt
