There’s nothing quite like the magic of a local carnival to kick off the season. This year, the St. Angela Merici Parish School is gearing up for its 37th Annual SummerFest, and it’s shaping up to be a massive celebration of community, family, and fun.
Scheduled for May 29–31, 2026, this three-day extravaganza transforms Brea, CA, into a hub of excitement. If you’ve lived in North Orange County for any length of time, you know this isn’t just a small school bake sale—it’s a beloved local tradition that draws a crowd of over 30,000+ attendees.
What to Expect
The SummerFest flyer promises a classic “something for everyone” atmosphere:
- Live Music: Local bands and performers to keep the energy high.
- Fabulous Food: A staple of any great festival, ranging from carnival classics to local favorites.
- Exciting Carnival Rides: From the iconic Ferris wheel (pictured in the stunning event photos) to high-energy thrills.
More Than Just a Party
While the rides and lights take center stage, the heart of SummerFest is its mission. The event is a major fundraiser for St. Angela Merici Parish School, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. All proceeds go directly toward benefiting the students, ensuring that the fun had over the weekend fuels education and community growth throughout the year.
