Music + movement = instant mood boost
Saturday, Aug 16 — Sugar Lane Dessert Festival, Anaheim (5–9 PM)
Got a sweet tooth? Center Street Promenade transforms into a dessert lover’s dream with 40+ dessert vendors and local shops. From decadent pastries to inventive ice creams, there’s something for everyone—bring friends and plan to share!
Pro tip: Arrive a little early to stroll the promenade, grab a savory bite, and then make the dessert rounds. Your camera roll will thank you.
Sunday, Aug 17 — Last Chance: The OC Fair Wraps!
Don’t miss the final day of the Orange County Fair—the ultimate summer send-off. Think acres of classic fair food, thrilling rides, farm animals, live entertainment, and friendly competitions. It’s nostalgia and novelty, all in one spot.
Make it easy: Check the OC Fair site for current hours, parking, and ticket details before you go.
Know Before You Go
Parking & timing: Build in a little buffer for parking and walking—especially Saturday and Sunday evenings.
Comfy shoes: You’ll be on your feet for demos, dancing, and dessert-hopping.
Shareables: Split treats at Sugar Lane so you can sample more.
Stay hydrated: Pack water or grab drinks along the way—August heat can sneak up on you.
We’ll See You Out There!
We’re so excited to kick off Weekend Wind-Up and we’ll be back every Friday with fresh picks across Orange County. Have an event we should feature? Send it our way!
