This event was a good time. It's basically a marketing blitz put on by the breweries, but well…read moreworth the trip. The festival was not what I expected. I figured there would be a few beer stands and that you would get your beer and just hang out. Well, when you first get there they give you a tiny little cup. At first, you're thinking that this is some type of joke. But it isn't. It's kind of like wine tasting but with beer. There were about 50 breweries being represented each with 2 or 3 types of beer. They had some interesting one too, like rice beer and beer that looked like a Bloody Mary. There was a cover band and lots of good gourmet food trucks. We had fries with nacho cheese and jalapenos and a hot dog. All delicious. It's $40 and it's all you can drink. Do not let the little cups deceive you as you will get a buzz pretty quick. The event is 3 hours long but plenty of time to get your drink on. Word of advice, get there early, the traffic was horrendous. Park in VIP, it's $5 more, but you get to park at the entrance and are the first out at the end. Even though the food was good, the lines were long, so it may be best to eat before you arrive or eat early. We will be back next year.

Don't let the 3 stars fool you this was a fun event, 3-4 hours of beer sampling for $40-$50 is a…read moregreat time but I am grading on a curve scale by comparing the OC beer festival to the LA beer festival (both were run by the same organizer "Drink Eat Play"). The Phoenix club venue was a good location right behind the Anaheim pond aka Honda Center, parking in the Honda center was $10.00. The Phoenix club had plenty off room for the 48 beer vendors that were there & a sitting area that came in handy if you got something from the food trucks. Out of the 48 vendors in attendance this year only Shock Top, & Stella were the major brands there, the rest were local craft brewery's which is cool because you have a larger option of new beers to experience. Granted the LA fest had a lot more people than the OC fest there are still a few things the OC fest could have done to be close to perfect. The food trucks were inside the festival so if you showed up early to try & grab something to eat you had to wait for the start time. The LA fest had the food trucks in the waiting area so you could get your ID & tickets checked & wait for the event to start by the gate or get food while you wait. For tickets I didn't see an option to purchase non-drinking admission prices so if you had someone come with you as your designated driver they still had to pay full price. They weren't giving out or even selling water like I've seen at other beer fest, my cousin luckily got a bottle from one of the beer vendors but next time I'll be sure to bring my own water just incase. Besides those little details this beer fest is a must do if you want to try some new beers, & have a good time with your friends & fellow beer lovers.

World Hansik Festival was a super cool little festival that happens once a year during the weekend…read more This year's World Hansik Festival was located at The Source in Buena Park. If you're familiar with this location you know that there couldn't be a better location due to the heavy Asian influences. After finding parking we headed down to the bottom floor of the parking structure where there were rows and rows of vendors. The vendors range from kitchen appliances, food samples, food vendors, skin care, spices and a lot more. I made my way over to food vendors and saw the spicy rice cakes so I knew I needed them. The order was a large order for $5 which was pretty good. My boyfriend sneaked down to one of the other booths and snagged a ramen burger with fries. They had so many options to choose from. Not only was all the food amazing but the atmosphere was fun!

It's a great little spot in Downey, and perfect to stop by whenever you're already in the area. It's not always free, but they do have certain days and events where admission is free, so I always check their calendar before visiting. They also host fun events pretty regularly. The museum isn't huge, but it's full of hands-on space and science activities. My 10-year-old had plenty to do -- and depending on your kid, older children can definitely enjoy it too. There are a few activities that are more engaging for the bigger kids, not just the younger ones. There's also an Apollo Lighting event on Saturday, December 6, 2025 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, which looks like something kids around 10 would enjoy. Overall, it's a nostalgic place for me and a fun, educational stop for families. Whenever we're near Downey, I like to check what's happening and drop by if there's a good event!

TIP: Ladies, go to the restroom BEFORE the performance instead of intermission. Trust me, the line moves quickly and there is plenty of time before the show.

Why I will not be returning to the Carpenter's Center of the Performing Arts and to any Musical…read moreTheatre West Productions, or for that matter to any Live Theatre in SoCal. I will find other forms of entertainment. Before I tell the why of my first sentence. I want you to understand that for 22 years I had season tickets to a live theatre in Glendale till they went under due to Covid and owners' divorce. I've have seen a lot of live theatre what happened at the Carpenter Center is the last straw. Goodbye live theatre. First the Actors, Actress, and Musicians. Thank you for sharing your talents. As a person who can miss all the notes all the time, I truly appreciate your talents and abilities. I hold the Producers and Directors responsible for the Show. As for the Carpenter Center, Musical Theatre West, and other places and production companies. I'm done. When you advertise you are doing "Joesph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" or any other production this is what I expect to see. If you are making a new adaption of the play, let everyone know before they spend their hard-earned money. This visual experience is part of the performance. Your new adaption was for the most part very poor. As my mother of 85 said, "I kept closing me eyes hoping it would change." I laughed, yet never having been to a "Chip and Dale" review it's the only thought that came to my mind to describe what was being presented. Last note Bruno Mars is not a King, sorry, a very disappointing part of the performance. You didn't want Elvis okay, then use a King... Michael Jackson, the king of pop or James Brown the king of Soul. I just love the Pharaoh as Evlis.
