Night of Lights OC and Paw Patrol at the OC County Fair

January 1, 2021

Winterfest OC was always one of our favorite family events to attend in the past and we were excited to attend media night with their re-imagined safe drive-thru event. Night of Lights OC did not disappoint with this mile long journey with beautiful Christmas lights, fun neon displays, snow, live characters, light tunnels, a beautiful Christmas tree, and Santa. We noticed they had 2 lanes at various parts of the event to help if there’s any congestion. We got a small goody bag of treats and they took a holiday family pic at the end that was texted to us. Bonus was also being able to get OC Fair food on the way in! Pre-order your food and get sweet and savory items such as churros, hot chocolate, cookies, chicken tenders, and more when you enter. Night of Lights OC is going on now till Jan 10, 2021! Every Monday, there is a discount for community heroes with a special $5 off coupon on certain days for teachers, first responders, and military personnel. Check out our GIVEAWAY below of a vehicle pass!

“The 6th annual Winter Fest OC is excited to return in a different format in these unprecedented times as the demand from the community has been overwhelming with families looking for alternative ways to still celebrate the holidays,” said Katrina Carlson, executive producer of Night of Lights OC. “Night of Lights OC is an immersive event that allows everyone to safely experience the magic of the season and keep annual holiday traditions alive.”

Whether it’s a family outing, date night, or girls night, Night of Lights OC is sure to bring holiday cheer to all ages.”
