Floral Park Home & Garden Tour Returns April 25–26

04.05.26

On Saturday, April 25, and Sunday, April 26, 2026, the Historic Floral Park Neighborhood Association presents the 33rd Annual Floral Park Home & Garden Tour, a beloved spring tradition that celebrates the charm and character of one of Orange County’s most distinctive neighborhoods.

Tucked inside Floral Park, often described as Orange County’s “best kept secret,” gracious homes from the 1920s through the 1950s will once again open their doors to visitors. Sunlit porches, gleaming wood floors, and beautifully tended gardens set the scene for a stroll through decades of classic Southern California architecture and design.

Beyond the homes, the weekend includes plenty to explore throughout the neighborhood. Visitors can wander through blooming gardens, admire beautifully restored classic cars, enjoy food from local restaurants and food trucks, and spend time in the lively wine and beer garden. The crowd favorite Street of Treasures market also returns, offering vintage finds, nostalgic keepsakes, and unique items from local vendors.

This year’s featured homes and gardens are located north of Santa Clara Avenue. The Street of Treasures market, food vendors, community tables, and the car show will be located along Victoria Drive.

The Home & Garden Tour takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. The Street of Treasures market is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. The wine and beer garden will be open Saturday from noon to 7 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m.

Advance tickets are $45 and are available online through April 20. Tickets will be $50 on the day of the event and may be purchased at the ticket booth, where both cash and credit cards are accepted. Tickets may be limited. The event takes place rain or shine and tickets are nonrefundable.

Earth Month Eco Challenge Returns to Discovery Cube Orange County

04.03.26

Discovery Cube Orange County kicked off its Earth Month Eco Challenge with hands-on activities and sustainability-focused exhibits taking place each weekend throughout April in partnership with OC Waste & Recycling.

Designed to educate and inspire the next generation, the experience features five interactive exhibits and themed programming centered on environmental awareness and science-based learning.

Guests can take part in a worm cart demonstration that shows composting and decomposition in action, along with a cloud watch activity focused on identifying cloud types and understanding their role in the water cycle. A microplastics awareness station highlights the impact of plastic pollution on marine ecosystems, while the windmill creation station invites kids to build their own models and learn how wind energy supports a more sustainable future.

The Organics Waste Lab, sponsored by OC Waste & Recycling, offers an interactive look at composting through games and exhibits that explore how long different food items take to break down and the important role worms play in the environment. In recognition of Earth Month, the exhibit also features new videos on vermicomposting, organic farming, the life cycle of a butterfly, and recycling and waste reduction.

Additional eco-themed programming will take place throughout the month, encouraging young visitors to explore sustainability through engaging, hands-on science.

Eco Challenge dates include April 10 to 12, April 18 and 19, and April 25 and 26.

2500 N Main St, Santa Ana. (714) 542-2823
