OC Archives Bazaar – Saturday, March 20^th 2027 | 10 am – 3 pm

Great Park Irvine, Hangar 244

Orange County in Action invites you to the 2027 OC Archives Bazaar. This year’s theme Homegrown Histories celebrates the stories that have taken root in our own backyard.

Explore collections from local archives, libraries, museums, historical societies, and community organizations. Discover photographs, documents, oral histories, and other materials that reveal the people, places, and experiences that have shaped Orange County.

Whether you’re a researcher, educator, student, history enthusiast, or simply curious about the place you call home, come discover the histories growing all around us.

History lives right here in OC – in our neighborhoods, families, organizations, photographs, memories, and everyday places!

Highlights from last year’s bazaar:

With over 1000 attendees, 28 exhibitors, 20 volunteers, 10 guest speakers and 3 planning committee members, this year’s OC Archives Bazaar, Beyond the Archive: Textiles, Tunes, and Tales from Orange County was a great hit!

Many thanks to the Great Park team and volunteers for your continued support and contribution!
