Orange Street Fair Tips
- Bring your ID if you plan to drink.
- Bring cash for food, drinks, games and crafts.
- Wear comfortable shoes for all the walking and spilled drinks. Consider not wearing open toed shoes for this reason.
- During the day don’t forget the sunscreen and hats. It’s almost always hot and there isn’t a lot of shade.
- Bring water, it’s available but at street fair prices.
- Uber or Lyft there to beat the parking and for responsible drinking. The train or Metrolink, which runs a street fair promotion, are options as well.
- Arrive in a smaller car to park in the smaller open street spots.
- Make sure you have a designated driver.
- Check out the music lineup to see your favorite band.
- Find fun places to go in Old Towne Orange and movies, television shows and commercials filmed there.
- Go with an Elk member. The Orange Chapter is located right in the middle of the street fair. It is a great place to slip away for a quick rest, drink and even play some pool, darts or shuffle board.
- No pets allowed except service animals.
- Seating is limited and lawn chairs are NOT allowed.
- Local businesses remain open at their discretion.
Additional Tips for Parents/Families
- If you have young kids bring a stroller even for ones that are mostly done with strollers. There can be a lot of walking with little seating available.
- Don’t bring big strollers as it will be difficult to navigate the crowds.
- Get there right when it opens for the best parking and least amount of crowds.
- Drinking and smoking increases as the day goes on and into the night (read rowdier). The earlier the better for families. Early Friday night and early Saturday and Sunday during the day.
Common Complaints about OISF
- Difficult to find parking, long walk to fair
- Over priced alcohol, food, activities and parking
- Bathrooms are Porta Pottys
- Very crowded and can get rowdy
- Too much drinking and smoking
- Very hot, not much shade or seating
- The international food isn’t authentic, great or diverse (a lot of sausages)
Orange Street Fair History
The Orange International Street Fair (OISF) started in 1973 when The City of Orange was looking to celebrate it’s 100th anniversary. The 1910 Orange Street Fair was the inspiration for the centennial celebration. The 1973 festival, with 50,000 attendees, was so successful that it became an annual tradition ever since. Eventually the street fair’s popularity replaced the Orange May Festival Celebration which ended in 1991. The Orange May Festival celebrated the start of the Valencia orange harvest.

Do you know if there is seating for the concerts or if you can bring folding chairs?
Folding chairs are not allowed and any seating would be limited to what is normally in the area e.g. benches, thus plan for no seating.
Some of these concerts at the OISF is standing only. Not allowed or wise to bring your own chair. If you’re lucky, you might find a city bench or a clear spot to sit.
