Orange County, California
Every Sunday morning, Old Towne Orange comes alive with the freshest local produce, artisan cheeses, handmade crafts, and prepared foods in a charming historic setting. Grab a coffee, browse 80+ vendor stalls, and soak in the community spirit that makes Old Towne one of Southern California's best-preserved downtowns.
America's largest National Register historic district, centered on a perfectly preserved 1886 town plaza. A full square mile of Victorian homes, 1920s bungalows, and antique stores radiating from a circular park — plus some of OC's best independent restaurants and coffee shops woven in between.
Orange County's oldest regional park, established in 1897 — 477 wooded acres along Santiago Creek with pony rides, a small zoo, paddle boats, bike rentals, and miles of equestrian trails. The towering sycamores and coastal live oaks make it one of the most photogenic parks in the county.
A canyon park tucked into the Santa Ana Mountains just minutes from the freeway — ancient valley oaks draped over the Santiago Creek trail, a 1,000-year-old oak tree the size of a small house, and 18 miles of trails leading toward Weir Canyon Wilderness. Cooler and quieter than most OC parks.
