Seasonal OC

Things to do in the...

Spring:

The season of clear skies and crisp air, perfect for baseball season!  The Angels of Anaheim kick off their season with diehard fans flocking to Angel Stadium to cheer them on.  Around Easter, the Crystal Cathedral shines even brighter during their spectacular Easter play titled The Glory of Easter.  Or witness the true beauty of spring in the OC at the Spring Garden Show at Costa Mesa's South Coast Plaza. 

Summer:

Take advantage of what California is all about: sunshine and beaches!  Huntington Beach (just minutes away from Anaheim) is home to the US Open of Surfing and Beach Games where over 500,000 visitors come out to watch.  From July till August, visitors can indulge in deep-fried sweets and mouthwatering fair food at Orange County's yearly OC Fair in Costa Mesa.  Or heading a little further south to Laguna Beach, reserve tickets early for the unique, live reenactment art show, Pageant of the Masters.

Fall:

Known for its thrilling theme parks, Anaheim is the perfect spot for a good halloween scare.  In October, plan a trip to Knott's Scary Farm during the day, and muster up courage for their Halloween Haunt in the evening, where rides and over a dozen haunted mazes are built just for this special season.  Or visitors can head to Disneyland and Universal Studios Hollywood where trick-or-treating is brought to a new level, and a movie backlot has never been more terrifying to ride through.  If sports are more of the interest, say, "Farewell!" to baseball season and "Hello!" to hockey!  The Anaheim Ducks get ready to rough and tough their way through the season.

Winter:

Plan the holiday season, "OC Style!"  Head to our local beaches and watch the ocean waters sparkle from the beautiful parade of Christmas lights lining the shore.  Newport Beach hosts its annual Newport Harbor Boat Parade free of charge, sure to bring OC holiday spirit to everyone.  Or witness the lighting ceremony of the tallest Christmas tree in the U.S. at Newport Beach's Fashion Island Shopping Center.  Also in season, encourage visitors to bundle up and head out to sea to witness the yearly winter excursion of the Gray Whale migration.
