Christmas Sweater Festival It’s time to break out the wool vest with snowflakes on it at this year’s Christmas Sweater Festival, with proceeds going to charity.

Ozomatli L.A.’s long-running Latin-rap-funk ensemble Ozomatlitunes up for an evening show at Club Nokia with a kid-friendly matinee. Though the band has experienced a number of lineup changes, it still has a reputation for being a seven-piece party on wheels, and at this show the kids get to play along as the band explores its eclectic variety of sounds and teaches the crowd one of its favorite songs. As a bonus, every 10-and-younger child in attendance will be invited to attend tonight’s show for free -- with a paying adult, of course. The Grammy Museum, 800 W. Olympic Blvd., No. A-245, L.A. Noon. $10. (213) 765-6800.
