January in Orange County

January in Orange County offers a mix of outdoor events, local markets, and seasonal activities that take advantage of the area’s mild winter weather.
It’s a great time to get outside, explore local favorites, and enjoy a slower pace after the holidays.

Local Markets

One recurring favorite is the Irvine Farmers Market at Mariners Church, held every Saturday in January from
8:00 am to 12:00 pm. It’s a great spot to shop local, enjoy fresh food, and ease into the weekend.

Coastal Walks and Outdoor Time

For coastal views and community vibes, Sunset Walks at Huntington Beach Pier continue throughout January.
These informal evening walks are popular on Friday evenings, including January 10 and 24, and are a simple
way to enjoy the coastline during quieter winter months.

Fitness and Wellness Events

January is also a great time for outdoor fitness and wellness events. Many Orange County cities host beach yoga,
group walks, and wellness meetups, often scheduled on weekend mornings throughout the month, including
January 5, 12, and 26, depending on location.

Arts and Entertainment

Arts and entertainment remain active as well. Laguna Beach galleries and local venues often feature winter
exhibitions and smaller live performances during January. Many of these events happen during the second
and third weeks of the month, when crowds tend to be lighter.
