Tustin Tiller Days 2026

You found this. Be the first one here.

The Ferris wheel hasn't changed. The Lions Club is still running it. The parade still rolls down the same stretch of road it's been rolling since before most of the crowd was born, and the corn dogs still cost what corn dogs cost at a carnival that folds up on Sunday night and leaves behind nothing but flattened grass and the particular satisfaction of a town that just spent three days remembering it's a town.

Tustin Tiller Days has been doing this since the tillable-land era — celebrating the agricultural roots of a city that long ago paved over most of its farms but never paved over the tradition of gathering in the park to eat questionable food and watch a parade float built by someone's scout troop. The carnival rides are the kind that travel on flatbeds. The craft booths are the kind where someone's aunt has been selling hand-poured candles at the same table for fifteen years. The crowd is the crowd that lives here: stroller families, teenagers who came for the rides, retirees who came for the pie.

Columbus Tustin Park becomes a midway, a food court, and a live music venue for one weekend every October. Free admission to the grounds. Carnival rides separately ticketed. Saturday morning parade at 10 AM through Old Town Tustin.

Friday October 2, 4–11 PM. Saturday October 3, 11 AM–11 PM. Sunday October 4, noon–8 PM. Columbus Tustin Park, 17522 Beneta Way, Tustin, CA 92780.
