    a fun way to star the year

    by agenteP on 1/3/13OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    I had fun with all the activities and the great selection of music from 60 to top 40 of today. each decade of music was i n a different room. There was various activities to do and they were included in the general admission price, you can pick from a game room (Vegas Style) a dancing head station and mechanical rides. the also had food trucks (not included on the admission) and souvenirs and alcohol drinks. a little pricey. overall it was fun!

    Most fun I've ever had at a New Year's Eve party!

    by Anonymous on 1/2/13OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    We had a fantastic time! The bands were great, and the demolition derby was a bonus. We will definitely go next year! I can't wait!

    Fantastic NYE Party

    by CAOceanside on 1/2/13OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    My husband and I had a fantastic time. The bands were incredible. Getting the VIP tickets are the way to go. We have heard some of the bands locally and because of that when we saw that they were playing we wanted to join in the fun even more. I would recommend this event to anyone who wants to have a great time.

    Our 3rd year...and it was a blast again!

    by Sandwhy on 1/2/13OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    This was our 3rd time attending and we have enjoyed it every year. Always seems to be better each year, with the addition of heaters, more tables and chairs, the rides being free, and enjoyed the dancing heads. Please continue to change things, this will keep regulars like ourselves coming back every year. As usual the quality of the bands were excellent. Since this was our 3rd year we have seen some of the same bands. And other than No Duh and the back up singer for the Neil Diamond band there were no other women on stage would be nice to see more...maybe Madonna, The Go-Go's, Pat Benatar?? Would be fun to have a stage for an all 80's band...continuous 80's music all night. The timing of the Derby would be better to start before the bands, we have missed it every year because we want to see all the bands. Maybe fun to add photo backgrounds, fun photo ops (face cut outs) we can take with our own cameras. The photos were expensive to purchase. Food trucks were great, maybe add churros, popcorn, pretzels, funnel cake Please continue to gear the bands to the 40's age group as you have done so. We like the fact this is appropriate for a mature audience.

    O C Fair

    by DebbieHB on 1/2/13OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    Unbelievably great this year. Some new bands over the last couple of years. The Queen Nation tribute to Queen was probably the best cover band. Really enjoyed the Abbey Road and Jumpin' Jack Flash. Also, for the 1990's No Duh was a new addition as well as The Atomic Punk. Highly recommend this event for a great bit of New Year's fun

    Great Experience

    by ADRIANASANLOVES on 1/2/13OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    I had a great time. There was so much to do as far as different events to attend so you are not just stuck doing just one event. Would do it again in a heartbeat:))) Happy New Years!!!

    First Time

    by BostonJane on 1/2/13OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    Truthfully I dreaded going; demolotion derby is not my thing but my husband liked it. Overall there were pleasant surprises-no pushing, drunk crowds; it was quite civilized and well managed. VIP lounge nice touch, decent hors d'hourves although the parking attendants would not allow our Town Car driver into the area. Lounge needed to be heated, it was a freezing night! Enjoyed the casino most; bands and music were well presented with good distinction by decades. Drink lines in those pavillions were inefficient and dreadfully slow. Heard many in line say "they would not be back". This event could be kicked up a notch by taking away that "carnival" tackiness. Still, it's not my thing!

    CLASSIC ROCK OUTSTANDING

    by TENNTALL on 1/2/13OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    THE 60'S STAGE WAS OUTSTANDING FROM NEAL DIAMOND, THE FAB 4, AND THE ROLLING STONES. I'VE BEEN TO REAL LIVE CONCERTS FOR ALL THESE AND THE TRIBUTE BANDS WERE VERY, VERY GOOD! ALSO CELEBRATING THE 12 MIDNIGHT WITH qUEEN IN THE 70'S WAS A ROCKING GOOD TIME! I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO DO THIS AGAIN NEXT YEAR.

    what could be added

    by fivecjs on 1/2/13OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    the event was great, people well behaved, thought it might get a little out of control with drinking everywhere, but over all people were great:) The only thing missing was COUNTRY music, loved all the bands (rolling stones were not that great) but over all think Beatles and Queen were amazing!! Still wished there was COUNTRY music!! The food was awful we tried to eat from the "chicken" one near the fountain it was so cold, fries too what a waste of $!!! LOVED the Demolition Derby!!!

    Fabulous night

    by LindaLufromWaterloo on 1/2/13OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    We purchased the VIP tickets and were completely satisfied. The food and lounge area offered to us was above satisfactory. We thought the sound system in the stage areas needed to be tweeked some, at one point we all felt like we had those medical "electric shock paddles" attached to our hearts - the bass was too loud. Overall we were very satisfied with the event, definitely will tell our other friends about it.

    Tribute Bands were great and so was the Crowd

    by LinJK on 1/2/13OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    What a great event to have. So many great tribute bands in one place and what a great crowd as well. Everyone in a festive mood! Food truck options were great as well. Went last year and will travel to Orange County again next year for our new annual New Year's Eve tradition! Stayed overnight at the Springhill Suites in Costa Mesa. Very nice quiet, close location.

    2013 OC Fair New Year Block Party

    by Etherealdreamer on 1/2/13OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    It was awesome... Bands were really good! Something for everyone to do.... And this year they had the food trucks which were very good. Beer prices were too expensive at some of the stalls... be sure to check out where all the watering holes are before you know where you want to buy your beer. One place sold it for $11. It would be nice to have parking included in the price of the ticket too... but overall great event!

    VIP Not Worth The $$$$

    by Peapod001 on 1/2/13OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    The OC Fair Party is fun and has lots to offer just skip the VIP experience. It's held in an outdoor section with itty bitty little heaters, long lines to get the wristbands and long lines for the skimpy drinks. It was supposed to open at 6pm for VIP but they didn't let us in until 6:45pm. Oops it was an "oversight". The rest of the event is great. Love the cover bands, food trucks, demolition derby was really fun to watch, plenty of patio heaters to stand under to take the chill off and it wasn't too crowded. Plenty of room to move and enjoy the evening.
