Old Towne, Orange Historic District

The district hosts the Orange International Street Fair, held annually every Labor Day weekend since 1973. The inaugural event was held to celebrate the city's centennial and pay homage to the original 1910 Orange Street Fair. The fair's success led the city to hold the event annually ever since. The event covers the Plaza, West and East Chapman Avenue, and North and South Glassell Street, and features international food and drink, live music and entertainment, and showcases for local businesses and non-profit organizations. The event typically draws several hundred thousand attendees over the course of the weekend. ==Use as a Filming Location==

Due to its classic, turn-of-the-century style and proximity to Hollywood, the area and many of its businesses has served as the backdrop for at least 20 feature films in addition to several TV show episodes and commercials. Some notable examples include the 1996 Tom Hanks film, That Thing You Do!, a scene in an episode of 2017's American Horror Story: Cult, and 2006 comedy film The Benchwarmers. In addition, being located only a few blocks away from Chapman University's top-ranked Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, it has also been used in countless student projects. ==Architectural styles==
