Winter Fest OC
Snow in Orange County? Yes, you’ll find it at Winter Fest at the fairgrounds in Costa Mesa. The festival is great for family fun and is a fun contrast to our warm December weather.
The festival offers fun and a festive atmosphere for all ages, so it’s a perfect choice for an activity that everyone can enjoy. You’ll want to dress appropriately to play in the snow, ice skate and tube down Snowflake Summit.
My plan was to soak up some wintry holiday cheer and have a fun family night out and it was a success!

Winter Fest will be in full swing until January 7th with some extra special activities on New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day and Three Kings’s Day on the 6th.
Tickets are available at the gate, but there are special savings available for those who purchase online in advance. You can choose from a variety of package options depending upon what you’d like to do. If you like carnival rides, I’d recommend the unlimited ride wristband. Lines were super short, so we were able to go on ride after ride after ride.
We had a great time at Winter Fest and I’d definitely recommend it.
