I love watermelons and find it really funny that there is a 3-day festival dedicated to them in Tujunga - Sunland, starting August 8th.

Info here:  Watermelon Festival

and from Yelp: 

Featuring Free Watermelon for all, a Watermelon carving display, a Watermelon eating contest with exciting prizes, and a Watermelon seed spitting contest!  Can you break the world record of 68 feet, 91/2 inches, set in Luling, Texas?  

Also, a Watermelon hat decorating contest, and the much anticipated Watermelon Festival Queen contest. International food court, beer and wine gardens, festival marketplace featuring arts and crafts vendors and live musical entertainment and dancing each day.

It’s their 47th annual festival ode to the melon.  $1 admission, benefits charity. 

This sounds like it could be interesting and a fun date option.  From Yelp:

The Pasadena Museum of California Art (PMCA) is proud to announce its summer event, the museum’s first ever multimedia celebration: 8eight8.  This night of music and art will take place on Friday, August 8 (8-8-08), from 8 o’clock until midnight on the museum’s rooftop terrace and will feature three DJs, custom light and graphic shows and a cash bar.  The evening will also include gallery viewing on the second floor of the museum.  

The event is co-organized by the PMCA, Poo-Bah Record Label of Pasadena, and dublab, the web radio collective.  Poo-Bah Record Label artists Matthew David, Take, Ras G, and Sacred & Nobody, will perform under the summer sky and visitors can explore the galleries from 8pm-10pm.   The current exhibitions on view at the PMCA are the acclaimed Kori Newkirk: 1997 - 2007 and Tales from the Strip: The Hot Rod Comics and Drag Racing Cartoons of Pete Millar
