To celebrate 18 years of community fun, the 2019 Irvine Global Village Festival will be one of the largest ones yet! The now two-day festival is October 12–13, 10 a.m.–5 p.m., at the Orange County Great Park. It will incorporate the best of Irvine's historic fall festivals to offer a wide variety of food and music options, interactive activities, and exhibitions throughout an entire weekend.

Families will delight in an expanded Kids Village with crafts, a “Seek-a-Treat” fall scavenger hunt, and a petting zoo. Attendees of all ages will enjoy samples of the best international cuisine as well as favorite festival foods for purchase; an Artisans Marketplace and the event’s first-ever art exhibition and demonstrations; and musical performances representing cultures from around the world, as well as your favorite Top 40 cover bands — all while attending Orange County's premier festival.

Tickets to Irvine Global Village Festival are $5 per day, per person for those ages 3 and older. A $20 Family Pass offers one-day admission for up to six people. Tickets are on sale now at irvinefestival.org. Parking is free, but premier parking closer to the festival site will be available for $10 on-site (cash only).

The Orange County Great Park is at 8000 Great Park Blvd., Irvine.
