Events

Maria wasn’t expecting much when her sister suggested they try something new that weekend. She had been searching online for family events Anaheim that wouldn’t cost a fortune, and one name kept coming up: Anaheim Marketplace.

They pulled into the lot just after lunch. Her kids ran ahead through the doors, and Maria was surprised by how much was going on. Vendors were busy in every aisle, the smell of fresh food drifted from the food court, and the whole building had a festive buzz. It turned out the events in Anaheim she had read about weren’t a single show.
There was something happening nearly every week.

Then she heard the trumpets.

A live Mariachi show in Anaheim was starting near the stage, and a crowd was already gathering. Her youngest clapped along, and her mother, who had grown up on this kind of Latin music in Orange County, hummed every word. Maria laughed when she realized the best part. Nobody had paid a cent for tickets.

“These are free events Anaheim families can actually enjoy,” she told her sister.

By the end of the afternoon, she had a bag of new finds, a happy crew, and a calendar reminder. If you’re looking for free events OC with live music Anaheim locals love, check our schedule above and come see why families keep coming back.
