About

You can stand at the walking ring with a general admission ticket and watch a top-class thoroughbred saddled up close, the San Gabriel Mountains rising straight behind the paddock - it is one of the enduring images of American horse racing, and it is open to you. This track has been a fixture of Southern California life since 1934.

The fall stakes program includes several Grade I and Grade II races that pull horses from beyond California - trainers targeting the Breeders' Cup championships in November use these fall races as condition tests. The Santa Anita handicaps and the Oak Tree Racing Association's fall program deliver a quality of racing uncommon in the fall California calendar, and the paddock is the best place in American racing to see these horses before a stakes race.

Santa Anita Park is at 285 W Huntington Dr in Arcadia, reachable from the I-210 and US-210, with the Metro L Line at Arcadia station connecting to a free race-day shuttle. On-site parking. General admission covers the apron, grandstand, and paddock; clubhouse and terrace upgrades are available. Racing runs Friday through Sunday and select Mondays through early November 2026.

626 Night Market Arcadia 2026 — August at Santa Anita Park

Aug 14 – Aug 16, 2026 285 W Huntington Dr, Arcadia, CA 9…

The greeting when you walk in isn't a transaction - it's a reunion, a hundred thousand people treating a food market like the neighborhood came back together for a weekend. That's the feeling the 626 Night Market runs on, and the August edition at Santa Anita Park is the biggest of the season. Modeled on the open-air night markets of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia, the market has run in the San Gabriel Valley for over a decade, and the August dates draw over 100,000 visitors across the weekend from across greater Los Angeles and beyond. The vendor selection covers the full range of Asian and Asian-American food culture - Taiwanese beef noodle soup, Japanese ube desserts, K-BBQ skewers - alongside merchandise vendors, games, and live entertainment, with performers and pop-up collaborations the August edition often adds that don't appear on other dates. For anyone in the SoCal Asian-American community, or anyone who wants to be in that community for a weekend, this is the event the season is built around. August 14-16, 2026, at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia. General admission is free; food is purchased per item. Check the 626 Night Market website for tickets, vendor lineup, and parking details.

Chicano Heritage Festival 2026 — Santa Ana

Aug 23, 2026 3000 W. Edinger Ave., Santa Ana, C…

Every August in Santa Ana, the lowriders line up on the boulevard and the whole neighborhood remembers. Not remembers like nostalgia — remembers like muscle memory. The chrome catches the afternoon sun the same way it did when your tío polished his '64 Impala in the driveway before you were born. The Chicano Heritage Festival is that feeling turned into a public gathering. Now in its fifth year, the festival takes over Centennial Park on August 23 with live performances that pull from decades of Chicano musical tradition — corridos bleeding into hip-hop, brass sections that make your chest vibrate. A car cruise and show draws some of the cleanest builds in Orange County, each one a rolling autobiography. Community art and crafts fill the park while kids bounce between a dedicated zone built just for them. The food is the kind that doesn't need a menu — you already know what you're getting, and it tastes exactly like it should. This is a free, family-friendly celebration put on by the City of Santa Ana, and it draws because the identity is specific. You don't attend the Chicano Heritage Festival. You recognize it. Centennial Park, 3000 W. Edinger Ave., Santa Ana. 3 PM to 7 PM. Gates and parking open at 1 PM. Free admission, free parking (limited).

Fiestas Patrias — Downtown Santa Ana

Sep 12, 2026 Main St & Civic Center Dr, Santa A…

Every September, one moment turns a whole crowd from individual people into a single voice — the instant a man on a stage yells the words Miguel Hidalgo yelled in 1810 and ten thousand throats answer back, ¡Viva México! In downtown Santa Ana, the beating heart of Latino Orange County, that moment is the center of the largest Fiestas Patrias in the region, now in its forty-fifth year. El Grito de Independencia goes up Saturday night on the main stage, and around it sprawls everything a Mexican independence celebration should be: folklórico dancers, banda and mariachi, carnival rides, street food that smells like a hundred family kitchens, a Sunday parade down Main Street. This is not a themed weekend; it is a community throwing itself its own birthday party. For the multi-generational Mexican and Central American families of Santa Ana, it is simply the weekend everyone comes home for. September 12, 2026, Main Street and Civic Center, Downtown Santa Ana.

Santa Monica Classic 5K & 10K

Sep 13, 2026 Ocean Ave & Santa Monica Blvd, San…

Be awake and moving while the rest of the beach still sleeps and you get the reward nobody else does — the Pacific flat and silver, Ocean Avenue empty, the light still soft, the pier waking up just as you run toward it. The Santa Monica Classic gives you exactly that: a 5K and 10K down Ocean Avenue with the ocean on your shoulder the whole way, finishing steps from the pier. It is fast, it is gorgeous, and it carries weight beyond the medal — proceeds fund neurological-disease research through the McCourt Foundation, so the crowd runs for people as much as for times. Whether you are chasing a personal best or just want the best morning view in West LA, the road is open and the bay is waiting. The beach-city runners will be out there, and so will everyone who runs for a reason. September 13, 2026, Ocean Avenue near the Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica.

Ocean Way Festival 2026 — Santa Monica Beach

Sep 26, 2026 ✨ New Santa Monica State Beach, 1550 Pac…

The sand is still warm when the sun drops behind the pier and the stage lights catch the salt air. That first chord hits different when you're barefoot and the Pacific is fifty feet behind you. Ocean Way Festival is a brand new Goldenvoice production landing on Santa Monica Beach September 26 and 27 — two stages set up on the sand just east of the Santa Monica Pier, with the Pier Event Deck serving as a third performance space. The inaugural lineup reads like a playlist you'd build for someone you're trying to impress: The Killers and Jack White anchor Saturday alongside Sublime and Alvvays, while Olivia Dean, Khruangbin, Durand Jones & the Indications, and Hiatus Kaiyote give Sunday a more soulful pull. SG Lewis, Hot Chip DJs, BLOND:ISH, and Poolside fill the gaps with sets that lean into the golden-hour energy of a beach festival that doesn't pretend to be Coachella. The all-ages format keeps it accessible. Saturday runs noon to 11 PM; Sunday wraps by 10 PM. The footprint stretches from the Pier down to Bay Street — compact enough to walk between stages without missing a transition, wide enough that the crowd breathes. Hotel packages bundle GA or Premium Pit tickets with curated accommodations. This is Goldenvoice's first beachside Santa Monica festival, and the lineup suggests they're treating the debut as a statement. Tickets and details at oceanwayfestival.com.
