Greer's OC

Each year at Savor Santa Ana, more than 40 downtown Santa Ana restaurants fling open their doors for small bites and libations as you walk through music-filled streets of DTSA. Savor Santa Ana is back on Saturday, October 13 from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. all over downtown.

Walk door-to-door or take a trolley to hear live musicians and student performers, meet local food scene entrepreneurs, taste from local restaurants, and see downtown Santa Ana’s historic buildings beautifully restored with wood, brick, glass and steel.

One of OC’s most historic cities is now home to not one but two food halls, and dozens of food options that feature everything from Santa Ana’s hallmark traditional cuisines from northern and central Latin America, to millennial-generation experimental foods, modern Mexican, modern Filipino, wine bars and bistros, and central and southeast Asian traditional and fusion fares.

TASTING TICKETS: $10 gets you 5 tasting tickets to redeem at any of 40+ participating restaurants and eateries. Order as many sets of 5 tasting tickets as you like.
