Curfew in Downtown L.A. postpones Bay Area rapper Ruby Ibarra's Tiny Desk Tour kickoff
'My love & apologies to everyone who got tickets for tonight's show — for those who wanted to be in community and empower & heal collectively through music,' Ibarra wrote in a Facebook post. 'Because of the curfew that's been implemented in DTLA, NPR Music's Tiny Desk Contest On The Road show … has been rescheduled.'
The concert scheduled to take place at the Regent Theater on Wednesday, June 11, which was to mark the first stop of Ibarra's 10-city tour, will now take place on July 1.
She added that previously purchased tickets will be honored for the rescheduled show and that refunds will be available for those unable to attend.
The curfew followed the sixth consecutive day of protests across downtown L.A., where President Donald Trump has deployed National Guard troops to quell demonstrators who have gathered in response to his latest crackdown on immigrants.
Wednesday's demonstrations drew thousands to Pershing Square and City Hall, where police fired less-lethal munitions and flash-bang grenades at crowds.
Ibarra, a San Lorenzo native, recently won NPR's 2025 Tiny Desk Contest with a live performance of 'Bakunawa,' a genre-blending track inspired by Filipino mythology. Her winning entry earned her a performance at NPR's Washington, D.C., headquarters, along with the national tour.
The Petaluma stop of the tour, scheduled for Friday, June 13, at Lagunitas Brewing Company, remains unaffected.
'We can't wait to bring this night of incredible music to LA soon,' Ibarra wrote. 'In solidarity and love.'

Amazing Race Neepawa: The day everyone came back
The heart of Neepawa remembered what it felt like to beat again. Main Street was flooded with life on Saturday. Children sprinted, adults walked with purpose, and strangers cheered each other on in karaoke. It was the Amazing Race Downtown Neepawa, and while no one was actually racing, everyone was, in their way, trying to get somewhere. The idea was simple. Send teams on a series of fun, quirky, sometimes ridiculous challenges hosted by local businesses. Nearly 40 teams and 130 people took part. There were 20 stops from toy stores to gyms to new Filipino restaurants. All of it stitched together by community spirit. 'Our downtown has never been so busy on a Saturday in a long time,' said Belinda Critchlow, co-owner of Hid'n Hollow, the local toy store and one of the event's organizers. The plan wasn't hatched in a boardroom. It started the way good ideas often do in small towns: With a group of business owners talking out loud about what wasn't working. 'For the last couple of summers, we just felt like… people need to know we're still here,' she says. 'A few more people through the doors would be nice.' There was another reason, too. Neepawa's strong and growing Filipino community had begun to open new shops and restaurants downtown. But the two halves of the town, newcomer and established, hadn't yet learned how to overlap. The Amazing Race event changed that. One challenge sent participants into a Filipino restaurant for karaoke, where the team's best voice had to belt out a song. There were cycling mini-classes, fashion missions involving Salvation Army, and an implicit challenge to simply go somewhere you hadn't gone in a while and to walk into a storefront that wasn't algorithmically recommended. There was no stopwatch. Just laughter, prizes ($1,000 total), and five teams who walked away with awards, including the title of Grand Champion. But that wasn't really the point. 'I think we saw a lot of people that we hadn't seen downtown in a long time,' Belinda said. 'They were just smiling. Having fun.' In a world where most purchases are curated by screens and delivered in boxes to your door, there is something quietly radical about simply standing in a shop and speaking to the person who owns it. Events like this are not a solution. They're more like a reminder that the community doesn't live on your phone, and downtowns don't survive by accident. For one day, Neepawa remembered that. And now, the only question is: Why not do it again? — Steven Sukkau is a Local Journalism Initiative reporter who works out of the Winnipeg Sun.

90-Year-Old Gran Enters Dance Floor at Party—She Quickly Steals the Show
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A 90-year-old has stolen the internet's heart after a dance comeback at her granddaughter's 18th birthday "debut." The family celebration transformed into an unforgettable spectacle when the spry grandmother, affectionately known as Mama Ging, surprised guests with an impromptu dance performance that quickly gained traction on TikTok. The moment highlighted her enduring love for dance and ability to command a stage—no matter her age. Rosie Alejandrino, 29, spoke to Newsweek about the video she shared, and explained that the event was the "debut" of her cousin, Angela Gabrielle—an 18th birthday tradition in Filipino culture similar to a Quinceanera. Photos from Rosie Alejandrino's TikTok video of her grandmother dancing during her cousin, Angela Gabrielle's 18th birthday debut. Photos from Rosie Alejandrino's TikTok video of her grandmother dancing during her cousin, Angela Gabrielle's 18th birthday debut. @yesrosemarie/TikTok Alejandrino, seen in a floral dress behind her cousin in a large pink gown, was thrilled by her grandmother's unexpected turn in the spotlight. Mama Ging has been a dancer her entire life, Alejandrino said. Her passion for dance is deeply woven into her family's history. "Dance actually plays a huge role in how my family came to be," she said. "Mama Ging was recruited to compete as part of the Philippines' Far Eastern University Folkdance Group in the 1950s, where she met my grandfather, our Papa Mike." Both Mama Ging and Papa Mike went on to teach dance and physical education at the same university where they met, raising their children, including Alejandrino's mother, nearby. The idea for Mama Ging's surprise performance came together just before the celebration. "It's a custom at Philippine debuts for the debutant to perform some sort of dance alongside her friends or family, so we stayed up all night before her party putting together a quick dance routine to surprise her guests," Alejandrino said. "My grandma kept chiming in with her ideas for choreography and ways to improve the performance, so we decided that it would be a fun surprise to have her be the grand finale." The moment Mama Ging took the floor, the reaction from the guests was electric. "So many of the guests erupted in cheers when Mama Ging got up from her seat, and they only cheered louder when she started dancing," Alejandrino said. Initially, the family had only asked her to dance for an eight-count so she wouldn't get too tired, but Mama Ging had other plans. She surprised everyone by going "full-out" for the rest of the song. Alejandrino shares a very close relationship with her grandmother. Mama Ging and Papa Mike lived with her family since she was about five years old, and Mama Ging has continued to live with her parents since Papa Mike's passing. This deep connection makes the shared experience of the moment even more special. For Alejandrino, her grandmother is a profound source of inspiration even beyond her dance moves. "If this video is proof of anything, she's definitely taught me that you are never too old to let loose and have some fun," Alejandrino said. "She really inspires me to take my health seriously and stay strong as I get older."
