Say hello to springtime in Orange County with sunshine, fresh air and family-friendly activities. We’ve rounded up some of the best happenings of the season to get you outside and ready to enjoy the longer days.

Festival season is here, and Orange County is the spot for exciting spring festivals. Love movies? Film buffs can reserve passes to the Newport Beach Film Festival, which runs from April 25 to May 2. Check out films from around the world at this one-of-a-kind lifestyle event close to your Brookfield SoCal home.

If you’re a music lover in need of an 80s throwback, Like Totally Music Festival is the event for you. This Huntington Beach show takes place May 11, featuring live performances by nostalgic favorites, including The Bangles and The Smithereens.

For families looking to connect with nature this spring, the Irvine Regional Park is the perfect location for outdoor action. Here, you can go hiking and visit the zoo or take the kids for a train or paddleboat ride. This historic park is a great place to spend the day.

The fun doesn’t stop there! Explore the dining and shopping options at Lido Village in Newport Beach and then jump on the Balboa Island Ferry to experience the exciting attractions just off the coast. From whale watching and Duffy boat rides to a stop at the iconic Balboa Fun Zone, a day trip to this quaint Newport Beach treasure is an Orange County tradition that can’t be missed.

Finally, don’t let the spring pass you by without a tour of our Orange County neighborhoods—Beverly at Eastwood Village and Legado at Portola Springs. We’re open daily from 10am to 6pm and Wednesdays from 2pm to 6pm.
