Orange County Festivals – 2024 & 2025

While there’s certainly no shortage of things to do in Orange County, visiting during the area’s Restaurant Week celebration or when a fun food or wine festival is happening can definitely kick your trip up a notch! Whether you’re looking for things to do in Huntington Beach a getaway this weekend or planning a future trip and searching for food and wine events in Laguna Beach, the list below will be helpfl.

Welcome sign at Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival in Anaheim, CAFor each entry on the list, you’ll find in which city and on what date(s) it’s scheduled to occur, plus a link to a website that provides additional details. It would be wise to make note of that website and check again to verify the details closer to the event’s date if you plan to attend.

Currently, the list still includes many dates for 2024 culinary events and a few 2025 dates. ***Events for which a 2025 date has been set are marked with a triple-asterisk.***

Many of these are annual events that are held around the same time every year. While we will check and update this list from time to time, if you’re in the midst of planning a 2025 trip and a 2024 event looks particularly interesting you may want to click through to see if the organizer’s website has been updated. If you plan to attend an event, we highly recommend that you make note of the website and recheck it closer to the actual date.
