noon / Pop Music

Are the Chili Peppers really revitalized? Will Metallica’s metal fans mix it up with the alt-rock masses? Do any of these modern-rock hit-makers have what it takes to do more than make a couple of radio hits? Whatever happened to women in rock? Myriad questions may occur as you inch your way into Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre for the seventh annual KROQ Weenie Roast.

* The KROQ Weenie Roast and Luau, with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Smash Mouth, Blink-182, Sugar Ray, Limp Bizkit and others, Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre, 8800 Irvine Center Drive, noon. Sold out. (714) 855-4515.

10am / Photography

Elvis may have left the building long ago, but he’s still alive and well at Graceland for the hundreds who flock there every year to commemorate his birth and death. Photographer Ralph Burns began documenting the tourists at Graceland in 1978 after hearing on the radio that masses of people were gathering there to commemorate the first anniversary of Elvis’ death. Years later, Burns has amassed an impressive archive of black and white images, featured in the exhibition “How Great Thou Art: Photos From Graceland by Ralph Burns,” opening Saturday at the Orange County Museum of Art at South Coast Plaza.

* “How Great Thou Art: Photos From Graceland by Ralph Burns.” Orange County Museum of Art/South Coast Plaza, 3333 Bristol St., Costa Mesa. Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-9 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m.-7 p.m; Sunday, 11 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Ends Aug. 22. Free. (949) 759-1122.

7pm / Movies

Long before Francis Ford Coppola’s sensual interpretation, there was F.W. Murnau’s “Nosferatu,” the most poetic of the many screen versions of “Dracula.” Murnau’s luminously macabre 1922 film, part of the Silent Film Series in Yucca Valley, was full of misty black-and-white visions of the dark side of love. Max Schreck makes an unforgettable vampire--a tall, skeletal goblin with a face that reeks of dread.

* “Nosferatu” screens at 7 p.m. as part of the Silent Film Series at the Groves Theater of Americana, 56158 29 Palms Highway, Yucca Valley. (760) 365-8504. The Harold Lloyd comedy “Never Weaken” screens on the same program with live piano accompaniment by Christopher Perry. Sound effects by silent movie actor Ray Erlenborn. 7 p.m. Also Sunday, 2:30 p.m. Tickets: $7.

all day / Juneteenth

As the legend goes, Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863--but its effects didn’t reach Texas until June 19, 1865, when Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston and read Lincoln’s decree. Ever since, June 19--Juneteenth--has been a day to celebrate freedom and African American culture. The William Grant Still Art Center will host a daylong event including an exhibit of masks by artist Deborah McDuff and a jazz-blues concert by Linda Taylor Ferguson. At the Autry Museum of Western Heritage, the Southern California African American Heritage Society will conduct a workshop for children to trace their family roots and the New Buffalo Soldiers will present displays about black cavalry units during the Civil War. There also will be a lecture, songs and a dramatic reading of the Emancipation Proclamation.

* Juneteenth Celebrations. William Grant Still Art Center, 2520 S. West View St., Los Angeles. 1-8 p.m. Free. (323) 734-1164. Autry Museum of Western Heritage, 4700 Western Heritage Way, Griffith Park. 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Free with museum admission. (323) 667-2000.

Noon: Parade/Festival

Santa Barbara’s 25th anniversary Summer Solstice Celebration Parade honors both the spirit of commedia dell arte, a long-standing theatrical tradition of Italy, and the origins of Solstice in Santa Barbara. Nearly 1,000 participants from seasoned performers to first-time revelers will take part in the Mardi Gras-type parade, which begins at noon. At 1 p.m. the festival gets underway at Alameda Park and will include live bands, food and souvenir booths.

* Summer Solstice Celebration Parade begins at the 500 block of State Street and ends at Alameda Park, at Micheltorena and Santa Barbara streets, Santa Barbara. Noon. The festival takes place from 1 to 6 p.m. at Alameda Park. Free. (805) 965-3396.

2pm / Dance

Besides its full-length “Swan Lake” (see review, page 58), the Royal Swedish Ballet has brought to the Southland its historic program reconstructing four acclaimed lost works of Les MADE THIS CAP, OK? Ballets Suedois. Created by impresario Rolf de Mare, with choreography by Jean Borlin, this company dazzled Paris, London, Berlin and New York in the 1920s but is today largely forgotten. Watch for startling Cubist sets and costumes by Fernand Leger in “Skating Rink,” a jazz-tinged score by Cole Porter (his only symphonic work) in “Within the Quota,” dances influenced by Mikhail Fokine (Borlin’s teacher) in “Dervishes,” and both the imagery and intensity of classic paintings come to life in “El Greco.” How Swede it is.

* Royal Swedish Ballet, Orange County Performing Arts Center, 600 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m.: four-part Les Ballets Suedois program. Saturday, 8 p.m.: “Swan Lake.” $10-$68. (714 740-7878.
