What to Expect
According to the parish, St. Norbertfest is a family-friendly fiesta with:
- Food booths
- Games
- Carnival rides
- Live entertainment on the main stage
It’s a classic Orange County parish carnival weekend, good for Villa Park and Orange families looking for an easy nearby outing in early October.
For kids and teens, rides and games are the big draw, and adults can enjoy food booths, live entertainment and a beer and wine. Organizers estimate thousands over the three days, so expect a busy fairground feel, not a quiet backyard fund-raiser.

Entertainment
Live music and activities run across the weekend on the main stage. The parish posts the current lineup on its St. Norbertfest 2026 Entertainment page and on Facebook. Check those sources for the latest schedule before you go — acts and times can shift.
