Orange International Street Fair 2015
COMMUNITY UPDATE
Global Eats highlight of Annual Orange International Street Fair this Labor Day
The Orange International Street Fair (Greater Orange’s goodbye to summer bash) returns this Labor Day Weekend with the theme Local Cravings-Global Eats.
Since being the centerpiece of the City of Orange centennial celebration in 1972 as a re-creation of a 1910 Orange International Fair, the celebration makes Orange the Global Eats destination for the world- bringing hundreds of thousands to the center of Greater Orange as world famous Orange Traffic Circle becomes the center of international themed Global Eats -fest.
Over 1200 volunteers have been preparing to make the expected half million visitors feel welcome. More than 80 community organizations dedicated to serving the Greater Orange Communities rely on the Orange International
Street Fair as one of their biggest fundraisers of the year.
As always, the fun is all about the food, music, more food, drinks…and don’t forget the FOOD…from around the world. Craftsmen will be selling handmade items around the Plaza and present and past Orange Street Fair commemorative s will be on sale to complete your Orange Street Fair collection.
As always no pets are allowed at the Orange Street Fair and wristbands for public alcohol consumption are required.
The free entertainment includes bands that will perform thought the four block downtown Old Towne Orange Plaza
Children’s Street
The Children’s Street family oriented activities will again be offered on North Orange Street East Chapman Ave.
Parking and Traveling to the Orange Street
The International Street Fair is in the center of Orange Santa Fe
The Orange Street Fair draws half a million visitors over its three days. Visitors from out-of- town are encouraged to avoid the parking crunch by taking the Metrolink (at reduced weekend rates-see below) to the historic Orange Santa Fe (Metrolink/Amtrak) Depot conveniently located adjacent to the street fair.
Among the wide array of possible discount tickets (see link below) are $10 Metrolink weekend passes that will allow you to ride anywhere in the regional system on Saturday and Sunday including most buses. Weekend passes are only sold at the vending machines located at Metrolink stations on the weekend (no web sales). Metrolink has a dedicated "event" site for the Orange Street Fair (see below).
Those wishing to brave the parking drama may try the numerous lots or parking on the surrounding residential streets. Expect to walk several blocks from where you park just to get to the Traffic Circle area where the Street Fair takes place.
