Deets: Southern California’s largest winter festival, returns to Costa Mesa for its 10th anniversary on select dates from November 22 through January 5. Winter Fest OC promises fun for all ages, transforming OC Fair and Event Center into a winter wonderland with massive holiday decor, thrilling snow and ice activities, immersive experiences, carnival rides and games, and an all-new holiday light show featuring more than 2 million lights with synchronized music. Home of the region’s largest outdoor ice skating rink, an 8,000-square-foot real snow play area, and a 150-foot ice tubing slide, Winter Fest OC brings a snowy paradise to Southern California.

This year, guests can experience more thrills with an expanded carnival, including an all-new dedicated kids carnival. Guests can expect both favorite and new rides, including Turbo Speed, where riders are taken for a 70mph “spin” that takes them 120 feet in the air; Hawaiian Express, a ride reminiscent of riding the waves of Hawaii, putting guests on an up-down-around trip faster and faster, then backwards too; the Inversion, featuring a tripod holding a total of 12 guests with the main arm of the ride swinging side to side like a pendulum, then swings to invert guests completely around and upside down at heights of 80 feet. All this plus the Giant Wheel, where guests will have jaw-dropping views of the lights from nearly 100 feet above Winter Fest OC, and so many more.

Hint for the Average Socialite: Tickets are on sale now.
