Ride the Bus to the Orange International Street Fair

Every Labor Day weekend, the antique-and-restaurant packed City of Orange hosts the Orange International Street Fair. Full of music, international food, and crafts, the fair attracts visitors from all over soCal.

The event has been an annual tradition since 1973. Explore 15 different themed streets and sample food from more than 40 food and drink booths. These booths are run by local non-profit organizations, and all of the proceeds from their booths go straight back to them! The festive atmosphere is heightened with live music on stages that are dispersed throughout the area.

While detours will be in effect for the routes that travel through the circle, it's still very easy to get to the event on the bus. Routes 54, 56 and 59 can take you within short walking distance. View maps and schedules for these routes here.

If you live a little father away, consider taking the train to the event! There are stations from Oceanside to Los Angeles, and it's only $10 to ride on a Saturday or Sunday with the Metrolink Weekend Day Pass.
