We have a blast going to this every year. Uber Or Lyft Or park close and ride a bike. Just be careful of drivers late at night. It’s a great Fair with good food, libations for all tastes, unique items for sale, fun atmosphere. Sure it’s crowded. It’s a street fair! Music, dancing, chit chat, it’s all fun.

This is the second time that we go. First time we went with our kids when they were small and we left right away because of the smoking and drinking. This time, just my husband and I went. It's a nice walk. We went mid-afternoon so there was a cool breeze. There is a lot of food to pick from.... I had a Polish dog and it was great. The fish and chips looked yummy but when I got mine it was too crunchy that I didn't even taste the fish . My favorite was the funnel cake and my husband's was the corn... had a nice time! Loved the German band!

This was my first experience at the Orange International Street Fair. My friends make it an annual tradition to come each year, and this time I said why not let's go. First off, I kind of regret going this past Sunday because it was terribly hot. I prepared myself since I was warned parking will be horrendous and it's generally packed with people. There's quite of but of private parking lots ranging from $10 - $15. Instead of battling and driving in circles, we paid the $10 and walked a few blocks. Once we arrived, we made our way to the wristband vendor. You must purchase a $2 wristband in order to drink at the fair. There were too many people at the fair, with many walking way too slow and bumping into you. There were lots of police officers and gang units walking around to ensure there wasn't any trouble obscene behavior. The food and drink was crazy overpriced but since it was an international fair, I expected some unique dishes from each vendor. Unfortunately, nothing stood out, just the normal type of foods you can find anywhere, just with a price hike. I expected the beer to be way overpriced and surely it was. One beer was four to five dollars or get 2 for seven to nine dollars (depending on the draft). We visited many if not all the booths; Italy, Mexico, Switzerland, Germany, Greece, America, etc. My friends bought an arrange of food items such as bratwurst, corn on the cob (elote), gyros, but I just went for the Italian Ice since it was so hot. The International Street Fair is a good concept, but apparently it was better years ago. Possibly it might even be better if it were in a better location. The combination of obnoxious drunk people, people moving as slow as possible or bumping into one another, and overpriced food missed it for me. The OC and LA Fair is a much better choice!
