Colors of Anaheim - traditions, festivals, mentality and lifestyle

Anaheim is located in California, where the grass seems greener, and the sun brighter. And the local people - no, they do not seem friendly at all - they really are. This is the place where you can recharge your positive energy just walking down the street - that's how residents of Anaheim are hospitable and city spaces are beautiful. Interestingly, the rain can plunge inhabitants of Anaheim into a kind of panic: they don't like it so much as if it is the root of all evils. Of course, this is due to the fact that such weather "spoils the reputation" of Anaheim and the sunny state as a whole.

Local people are always ready to help with anything, new acquaintances are important to them, they are not afraid to invite a stranger to the home to become good friends in the future. And, of course, to ask a new acquaintance about everything they're interested in. Local people are very interesting interlocutors - they are always ready to listen and tell an interesting story. Everything in Anaheim seems to live according to its own rules and flows in its own time: local residents live a measured life, appreciating every moment. That's why they try not to waste their time on negative emotions, getting (and sharing, of course) only positive energy.

And, of course, the on-site Disneyland Park creating the feeling of an eternal holiday and carelessness contributes to this. By the way, there is also the famous Adventures Park, which is of no less interest to small travelers. All this suggests one thought: is it the real paradise for children and their parents, which is so desirable to stay? The scorching sun of California, the best children's amusement park - what else is needed to be happy? Local residents, in turn, confirm this by their happy look and the charge of positive energy they share with anyone they meet. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Holidays taking place in the city are no less colorful. For example, Starpool Music Ska Luau dedicated, as the name implies, to such music genre as Ska. It is held at the House of Blues Anaheim in late November. Or Anaheim Children's Festival taking place in Pearson Park, the main purpose of which is to entertain children of all ages, and give them the opportunity to show all their imagination and creativity. Kids make drawings and prepare hand-made articles to this day. This is one of the most striking events that will be remembered by all children, so if you're visiting the city during its period, be sure to attend the event as a family.

Anyway, people are very fond of an informal culture here - do not be surprised if you meet someone wearing a leather jacket on a hot day: many locals live music. Thus, Bats Day in the Fun Park taking place in early May in Disneyland Resort and DoubleTree Suites is dedicated to Gothic, Industrial, and Death Metal. The festival is timed to the Celtic holiday of Beltane. Lasting for 3 days, the event's entertainment program includes not only musical performances but also a "black fair" with all the appropriate attributes. Of course, you can have a picnic in the park.

The Taste of Anaheim gastronomic festival takes place in the middle of May. The event annually held in GardenWalk is supported by restaurants, bakeries from all over Southern California. The festival is friendly and welcoming, and besides tasting food and drinks, a fantastic music program is prepared visitors. At the end of September, the Coffee Festival is held, during which you can enjoy tastings, workshops, and barista competitions. The venue for the event, to which all coffee masters are invited, is Anaheim Convention Center. However, no one can resist the delicious aroma of the divine drink - your feet just bring you to the exhibition complex.

March in Anaheim is marked by holding two beer festivals. Thus, in early March, Orange County Beer Festival gathers all fans of the divine drink under one roof (The Phoenix Club). Another beer festival takes place at the end of the month and is called FirkFest Cask Tiki Beer Festival. During this time, Farmer's Park accepts everyone who wants to participate in the beer fairy, and, of course, enjoy the unusual taste of the drink. The festivals offer a wide selection of beers, creating in the air a feeling that Anaheim is a city located somewhere in Germany.

Anaheim Art on the Walk, which takes place in January, March, June, and September, is a unique festival, the scene of which is Anaheim GardenWalk. During this period, artists from all over the Orange County present their works and thus get the opportunity to show their creativity. Get extraordinary impressions at the Downtown Anaheim Art Crawl Experience taking place on Center Street Promenade in February, May, August, and November. The street is filled with music, food courts invite to try some local specialties, and artists - to look at their artworks. In August, a thematic party dedicated to 1940's swing time is held as part of the festival.

In late March, the Anaheim Convention Center hosts WonderCon gathering all comics fans under one roof. The event lasts for 3 days, during which visitors can enjoy the so-called "meet and greets" with celebrities, one way or another related to comic books (authors, screenwriters, directors, actors). Also, you can watch some movies or even attend a theme party at the end. If you have a favorite hero's suit with you, this kind of event is definitely worth going to.

The proximity to Irvine (the city where the Blizzard company's headquarters are located) makes itself felt - an international festival BlizzCon is also held in Anaheim. It takes place in early November at the Anaheim Convention Center. Those for whom WarSraft, StarCraft, Diablo are not empty words are invited to participate in the festival as both fans and competitors. The event can also be visited virtually (of course, having a pre-bought ticket) and through organizers and participants' streams. Costume, fan-art, and cinema contests are also held.
