Best Events in Irvine

Irvine is one of Orange County’s most vibrant cities, offering an incredible variety of concerts, festivals, and family-friendly activities all year long. Whether you’re a resident or just visiting, you’ll find something for everyone—from live music and comedy to fresh local markets and seasonal celebrations.

Crowds at a concert at FivePoint Amphitheatre in Irvine

FivePoint Amphitheatre

Live music is back in Irvine at the open-air FivePoint Amphitheatre! The venue features a large lawn courtyard, food trucks, and a festival-like atmosphere. Every summer, you’ll find a lineup of well-known artists, from Brad Paisley to Rascal Flatts. There’s no better way to enjoy a warm Orange County evening than at a show under the stars.
Irvine Spectrum at night, home to the Improv Comedy Club

Improv at Irvine Spectrum

If you love stand-up comedy, Irvine Spectrum’s Improv brings in top comedians and rising stars every week. Grab dinner at Javier’s or another Spectrum restaurant before heading in for a night of laughs. This is my go-to spot for a fun date night, and Amir K is one of our family favorites!
Pro Tip: Many venues, like FivePoint Amphitheatre and Improv, offer early bird discounts or reserved seating if you book ahead. Check event pages regularly for the latest deals.
Fresh produce at the Great Park Farmer’s Market in Irvine

The Great Park Farmer’s Market

Every Sunday, the Great Park Farmer’s Market is a local favorite for fresh produce, flowers, and artisan goods. I love shopping here with my family—many vendors are local farmers or makers from right in Orange County. The market is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., so you can enjoy a relaxed morning and stock up for the week.

Great Park Family Game Day

The Great Park also hosts Family Game Days every Saturday, plus a variety of classes, camps, and seasonal activities. My kids love the giant chess board and open lawns, and we often bring a picnic and spend the day. There’s truly something for all ages!
Children playing at Tanaka Farms Harvest Festival in Irvine

Tanaka Farms Harvest Festival

Tanaka Farms is famous for its strawberry and watermelon tours, fall pumpkin patch, and monthly harvest festivals. It’s a must-visit for families who love picking their own fruits, wagon rides, and delicious food straight from the farm. Don’t miss the cauliflower tacos at the Tanaka Grill!
