New location! Was pretty crowded on the Friday morning we went. Westminster Mall is fairly deserted:( but it seemed to work well for the event. There was only a few people in line when we got there, but was a long line to get in when we left. They are very organized and staff was pleasant. Have been going to this event for many years at the various locations and things are pretty much always the same. A nice mix of vintage items, craft items, food items, but way too much merchandise bought wholesale and sold retail at high prices. I am a retail buyer for several gift shops and I saw many of the items from vendors that I buy from at the wholesale gift shows. This started as a craft festival and in my opinion, it really should go back to its roots. We all want to see something different and unique, not the same stuff you can buy elsewhere. Bathrooms are really a walk from The event at this new location, so plan ahead. Was fun and will probably go again, just hoping to see something new and unique in the future. Don't get me wrong...it was all nice, cute stuff, just a lot of it not original:( Happy Shopping! Easy parking (free)

"Christmas, Christmas, time is near. Time, to spend, my gift card here. I've been good, but that won't last. Hurry, cashier. Hurry fast." - parody of "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas, Don't be Late)", Chipmunks Sugar Plum, an admission free festival of arts, crafts, antiques & collectibles, occurs periodically at Buena Park Downtown mall & the OC Fair & Event Center. Winning a $10 gift card at the Buena Park Downtown Summer Concerts, I made my way here on the first day of Sugar Plum's Christmas dates. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sugar-plum-buena-park?select=M9QXfPPBSwKcFk5xIVQ8pw A line of about 50 deep, waiting to be let down the escalator, was what first greeted me. The line did move quickly enough, and I soon felt the festive cheer of Sugar Plum. Mrs. Claus sang all the beloved holiday classics, angelically, for our enjoyment. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sugar-plum-buena-park?select=2K7iD_Hu22yPWBNAeoGy1A Santa was ready for photo op's with all those in audience. I couldn't help but smile, as I just watched "Bad Santa" on DVR & thought about all the inappropriateness of the movie. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sugar-plum-buena-park?select=eg-d-xX1S-2RN2O6-5PFLw A smattering of food vendors had their delectables for sale- https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sugar-plum-buena-park?select=0cEQzVerJWWuN6bekse3vQ https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sugar-plum-buena-park?select=nqzPLSJJyIDsC7lqanioyw https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sugar-plum-buena-park?select=cdLZyeA3OTWFdcHeIvB5ew https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sugar-plum-buena-park?select=JEVWWyxrYo8_iFbr3MR7hA Julian's Tortilleria in Hawaiian Gardens had hot food for purchase. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sugar-plum-buena-park?select=2g22ckObO532g2sE5n2F2Q Lisa's Coffee & Tea offered free samples of their drinks by the escalator & their vendor stall. Most were good, albeit rather sweet. Crafts of all kinds were featured on just about every square foot of festival space. Holiday décor, clothing, woodwork, accessories, cosmetics & candy. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sugar-plum-buena-park?select=Aly6Xh6mG9DPT83JkiM0hw https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sugar-plum-buena-park?select=xGVo98KOpLceVJnBmDhBZw https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sugar-plum-buena-park?select=qaBESSFvM0AFsAvi30jvAw https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sugar-plum-buena-park?select=TxMa9Hc8cA-XztGd4059HQ https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sugar-plum-buena-park?select=aYmwmAomZoaPqlravmz01A https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sugar-plum-buena-park?select=qLD0eRbKNQ8m_VVRwssTGw https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sugar-plum-buena-park?select=-KqpFxU5jjgf8wJu3BUFcg I found these really cool Sci-Fi-esque wood models of familiar pop icons, which won't go named as they are copyrighted. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sugar-plum-buena-park?select=zDO9mPCAeF9K93tFGb8GQA https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sugar-plum-buena-park?select=51G3TftQQWsUTL3-rlReAw Browsing through the entire festival proved a tiring task, as I was looking for the perfect item(s) to spend my gift card on. After 3 or so times around, I settled on a light up snowman & light up snowy cottage ornament. The queue for the battery of cashiers moved rapidly with minimal wait. My first time at the Sugar Plum Festival, and I heartily enjoyed myself. There was a crowd of shoppers, but wasn't too congested as to not be able to navigate inbetween the vendors. My eyes spied cool knick knacks here, a wooden nativity there, some flavored dips some place else. Basically, a little something for everyone. All the while, sipping on free samples of hot chocolate & peanut brittle, listening to Mrs. Claus' soothing melodies. I'm now in the festive mood & have a couple gifts all wrapped up. Can't wait to visit Sugar Plum again! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sugar-plum-buena-park?select=scs6bhDJDYMfPMWF3Dlncg Highly recommend!

Valentines Day theme at Sugar Plum festival! Loving it!

I LOVE Sugar Plums Festivals. My sister and mom introduced me to this event that happens a few times a year before holidays. I wait for it now lol. You can sign up to receive a post card reminder of the event and i hear that if you give your postcard to the ppl at the door they raffle it for a gift certificate for theyre next event. There's so many things I want to buy and so many things at prices I must buy and so much stuff you will NOT find anywhere else. Really the vendors are so talented in crafts and all sorts. Its a vintage lovers dream. Great place to go for home decor. And the food and treats they sell are amazing DELICIOUS . Everything about Sugar Plum makes it a must go. At least once so you know what all the rave is about. I'm glad I went and am going this weekend infact lol.

Lollicakes, too sweet for me, but supercute

I've been going for the past 3 yrs now and it's fun, love the samples, the decorations and vendor stands. I'm wondering how the buena park location compares if it is the same or bigger. I always go to the slow cooker seasoning - whatcha got cooking stand, the lisa's coffee stand, the old town baking co. and some other random ones that change from time to time. I wish there were more stuff to check out. Head's up going at night time is definitely more crowded but also more active there aren't as many owners or ppl during the day time and not as many sample options available during the afternoon as I found out this past friday after noon. The registers are numerous which makes it nice as another person mentioned making it easier to check out.

Fun!

This festival is not for people with children! They do not allow strollers or wagons. If you are old you will probably enjoy this festival.

I bought Loozy Goozys peanut brittle at the last festival in Buena Park. The peanuts were rancid! Nice stocking stuffer for my husband!

Elif is a…read moreperfectionist, and we met several times to go over all the intricate details such as font, paper type, color, and layout. She then emailed me the proofs to ensure that I was getting exactly what I wanted prior to printing. The final products were all perfect, and many guests specifically reached out to tell us how beautiful the invitations were. If at any point I had questions, Elif was always easy to reach by email or phone, and was very responsive. Elif's prices are more than fair for the excellent products she provides, and her turnaround time can't be beat. The entire experience was wonderful, and I will definitely be reaching out to Elif for invitations & signs for future events.

She was so accessible and answered any and all my questions I had. I wanted to have my invitations be letter pressed and the pricing from Elif was by far the best! She had so many ideas, previous examples to show me and made the entire process so easy, which you want when you are wedding planning :) I could not recommend Elif more!!

What was most disappointing was how the situation was handled when another party arrived. Although the staff knew the space had been reserved for a later group, no one gave us any advance warning that our time was about to end. A simple 10-20 minute reminder would have allowed us to finish decorating our cake and clean up properly. Instead, we were suddenly rushed to wrap everything up, and our birthday cake was not even finished. A staff member came over and told us, "You have to leave RIGHT NOW, the party has arrived," and we were essentially forced out to make room for the next group. This was especially upsetting because the cake was for a birthday and the experience meant a lot to us. What should have been a fun celebration ended in unnecessary stress and disappointment. Better communication and a little more consideration would have made a huge difference. ---------------------------- Updating my review: although our experience in the store was disappointing, the owner responded very quickly, took our concerns seriously, and resolved the issue in less than a day. I really appreciate their professionalism and efficiency. Thank you for addressing the problem so promptly and for being willing to improve the customer experience moving forward.
