Winter Fest OC, the largest winter festival in Southern California, is making a grand return to Costa Mesa now through January 7th (on select dates), offering an abundance of winter-themed fun for everyone. The event magically transforms the OC Fair & Event Center into a captivating winter wonderland, featuring exclusive attractions such as an outdoor ice skating trail, an exhilarating ice tubing slide, and an authentic snow play area filled with enchanting delights. From free play zones to snowball fights, sledding for the little ones, and a captivating snow carousel, Winter Fest OC promises a unique winter experience.
Winter Fest OC guarantees an array of opportunities for creating cherished memories, catering to both children and adults. Indulge in seasonal cocktails, wine, and beer at the all-new holiday lounge, explore the talents of local artisans, and complete your holiday shopping at the new holiday market. Additionally, revel in the festive atmosphere with various photo opportunities throughout Winter Fest OC. For those seeking added exclusivity, there are VIP cabanas and cozy igloos with fire pits, perfect for romantic evenings, birthday celebrations, or private gatherings, available as add-on experiences.
General admission tickets grant access to crowd-favorite attractions, including the thrilling 150-foot-long, 9-lane ice tubing slide, and the enchanting "North Pole Journey" experience. The latter allows visitors to embark on a guided quest to become certified elves, filled with wonder and interactive discoveries along the way. Winter Fest OC also offers real snow play, interactive character meet and greets, live stage performances, a nightly tree lighting ceremony accompanied by snow flurries, dazzling light displays, and much more.
