    Travel with your Tastebuds
    43rd Annual Orange International Street Fair

    Since being the centerpiece of the City of Orange centennial celebration in 1973 as a re-creation of the 1910 Orange International Fair, the celebration literally makes Orange the 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 food streets.

    In addition to the street fair booths, the regular businesses are also extremely popular destinations.
