Winter Fest, an all-new family festival is now open thru January 3 at the OC Fair & Event Center featuring stunning attractions, lively entertainment, festive eateries and more winter and holiday fun.
The event opens daily at 11am, except for Christmas Day at 2pm, and includes unlimited ice tubing, the world’s largest walk-through ornament, festive entertainment, ice skating, VIP rink-side cabanas, live reindeer, a nightly Christmas tree lighting ceremony with snowfall, seasonal-themed eateries, libations, a carnival and much more.
The Winter Fest entertainment begins each morning with a snow-capped opening moment led by resident master magician, Jimmy H. The wildly entertaining Chainsaw Chicks will also be on hand at Winter Fest, carving out fantastic ice sculptures while engaging the crowd with their unbridled charm. More live entertainment comes courtesy of local bands, strolling carolers, and performances by community organizations from around Orange County.
The Winter Fest Promenade will bustle with the sights and sounds of winter, offering a variety of food and beverage options in a holiday atmosphere. At the end of the Winter Fest Promenade stands a 30-foot Christmas tree, where guests will gather nightly at 5:30 p.m. for a heartwarming tree lighting ceremony with snowfall. Near the Christmas tree are two of Santa’s reindeer, available for viewing and feeding.
The Mistletoe Lounge is a hot spot at Winter Fest, offering holiday-themed cocktails, international craft beers, and comfortable seating amid the holiday décor and entertainment of the Winter Fest Promenade. The Slippery Slope Ski Lodge (known as Baja Blues Restaurant during the OC Fair) is another exciting Winter Fest destination. The family-friendly eatery will capture a ski-lodge vibe with holiday-themed cuisine and drinks, mountain décor, nightly live entertainment, and staff decked out in ski gear.
Thrill seekers can climb Snowflake Summit to take part in unlimited ice tubing down a 130-foot, six-lane ice slide, where guests 42 inches and taller can race down the slope and experience the exhilarating side of winter. Snowflake Summit also offers bleacher seating, allowing friends and family to cheer on loved ones while they zoom down the ice.
The Hangar building will be transformed into an ice-skating rink, where guests can enjoy skating around a 6,000 square foot ice rink for an additional fee of only $15 onsite. Skaters can circle the ice as beloved holiday films are projected onto a theater-sized screen in the background. Santa has transported several sleighs from his collection to the Hangar building, which will be on display for the first time ever at Winter Fest.
