Orange County's big multicultural festival, held at the Great Park and celebrating its 25th year in 2026. It brings international food, a marketplace, cultural performances and hands-on cultural exhibits, and it is an easy way for newly arrived families to find community groups. Shade is limited, so bring hats and water.
