(Lake Forest, Calif.) - OC Parks invites the community to step back in time and discover the history of Orange County at the annual Rancho Days Fiesta at Heritage Hill Historical Park Saturday, May 2 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Free to attend and open to all ages, the event offers a lively afternoon of history and culture that celebrates Orange County’s rancho-era roots.
Rancho Days Fiesta features a variety of activities, including Native American and Folklorico dancing, charro horse riding and roping demonstrations, live music, piñata breaking and craft workshops, alongside engaging exhibits throughout the day.
“More than just a day at the park, Rancho Days Fiesta is a chance for visitors to engage with local history in a memorable way,” said Supervisor Donald P. Wagner, Orange County Board of Supervisors. “With interactive experiences, educational demonstrations and cultural performances, the event is a meaningful way for guests of all ages to connect with Orange County’s history and celebrate traditions that remain an important part of our community today.”
Heritage Hill Historical Park spans 4.1 acres and includes four fully restored and furnished historic buildings that span the early history of the Saddleback Valley and El Toro area from the Mexican Rancho era to the founding of the town of El Toro through the citrus farming days of the early 20th century. The park’s historic buildings will also be open to guests, with tours led by Amigos de la Colina volunteer docents who help bring the area’s rich history and traditions to life.
