FINAL FOUR NIGHTS — Southern California's Largest Winter Festival Returns for One Last Weekend

COSTA MESA, Calif., Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Due to recent inclement weather and in response to continued community demand, Winter Fest OC, Southern California's largest winter festival, has announced a special four-day extension, giving guests one final chance to experience the beloved seasonal event.

Originally scheduled to conclude on January 4, Winter Fest OC will now remain open for four additional nights only, from Thursday, January 8 through Sunday, January 11, at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, CA.

"As a locally owned Orange County business, PSQ Productions is proud to produce Winter Fest OC and bring this event to life each year with the help of local performers, vendors, and hundreds of seasonal employees. This extension is our way of thanking the community and giving everyone one last opportunity to make those winter memories together."
