Play On! Playin’ in the Park Returns to Booster Park By: Orange County Communications Department
Playin’ in the Park has been a fixture of Orange County festivities since 2013! The event originally came about after Orange County went a year without a public fireworks display. Answering public feedback, the Parks & Recreation Department partnered with Orange County Tourism to be sure there would be a fitting celebration of Independence Day in Orange County. Donations were accepted from generous sponsors to help provide funding for the fireworks. It’s grown a lot since then, but the event is still organized by Parks & Recreation with a strong tradition of sponsor support (thank the sponsors listed on the opposite page flyer)! Food Vendor List
This year’s event will take place on Thursday, July 3, and it’s more than just a fireworks show. This year’s Playin’ in the Park will feature all of the favorite attractions that attendees have come to expect. Staff recommend folks arrive early to ensure parking availability, it can become limited as we get closer to fireworks time. Other entertainment will be onsite during the day. Fun for the whole family, the Touch-A-Truck provides the opportunity for kids to get up close to, and learn more about, some of the cool vehicles (like firetrucks, ambulances, police cruisers, road maintenance trucks, and more) they see out and about serving our community. Plus, enjoy live music from Dave Goodrich and Southern Style on the pavilion stage!
