The event featured a hosted reception with cocktails and delicious wines and hors d’oeuvres, held inside an original base hangar, followed by a locally-produced, organically grown mesquite grilled dinner. After dinner concert and dancing under the stars.

The Park is Humming
Over 100,000 people visited the Orange County Great Park last year! Free events included concerts at the Preview Park, soaring in the Great Park Balloon, dances and cultural events. Families delighted in the Great Park Pumpkin Harvest and whisked across the ice during the month-long Great Skate in Hangar 244.

The Future is Unfolding
The Conservancy’s goal is to ensure that the OC Great Park becomes a truly great park for the people of Orange County. Exciting and dynamic new projects currently supported by the Conservancy include:
Conservancy Nature Education Garden
Aviation & Heritage Museum
Wildlife Corridor
Great Park Farm & Food Lab
Great Park Citrus Orchard
