Anaheim’s New Playground for Music, Food and Culture
Picture this: 100+ acres of walkable wonderland anchored by the iconic Honda Center, where art meets architecture, food meets flair and concerts meet community. Welcome to OCVIBE — Anaheim’s newest cultural playground that’s flipping the script on what an entertainment district can be.
Planned to open in phases, this ambitious district will begin welcoming guests in 2026, starting with a state-of-the-art concert venue and a chef-driven market hall. But that’s just the beginning. OCVIBE isn’t just a place to see a show or grab a bite—it’s a game changer for Orange County’s lifestyle. Locals and visitors alike will find their rhythm, one immersive experience at a time. And trust us, this isn’t your average venue glow-up. From music to food and design to green spaces, here are seven ways OCVIBE in Anaheim will transform Orange County’s entertainment scene.
1 | A New Era of Live Entertainment
If variety is the spice of life, OCVIBE is bringing the whole spice rack. With four unique venues, including the already renowned Honda Center, a new state-of-the-art concert hall, a theater and a rebirth of Huntington Beach’s legendary Golden Bear, this campus has something for every type of showgoer. Rock out at a 5,700-person concert in Orange County or catch an intimate set at the 350-capacity Golden Bear. With promises of a main-stage moment, there’s no shortage of things to do in Anaheim!
2 | The Honda Center’s Star-Studded Comeback
Orange County’s red carpet moment has arrived—and the Honda Center Encore is stepping into the spotlight with serious flair. This $1 billion transformation, led by the visionary Samueli family, is a full-blown reinvention of Anaheim’s entertainment crown jewel. Imagine entering a five-story South Entrance, greeted by a digital display poised for epic watch parties. Inside, ten new dining concepts and sleek self-service tech promise to elevate your experience. The addition of opera box suites and a chic all-inclusive club redefines luxury for the Orange County lifestyle. Once OCVIBE in Anaheim fully opens, Honda Center Encore will become a bucket list item for Southern California destinations.
3 | A Culinary Playground
Welcome to your next obsession: The market hall at OCVIBE. With 21 chef-driven food stalls and six curated bars, this sprawling foodie fantasy is designed to celebrate SoCal’s rich cultural mosaic. Open kitchens spotlight culinary craftsmanship, while spaces inspired by coastlines, orchards and deserts offer more than just a meal—they serve an experience. Add in Restaurant Row, just steps away, and you’re greeted with five full-service eateries. It’s a must-visit destination for your next date night or friend feast.
4 | Outdoor Escapes in the Heart of the City
Who says you can’t have nature and nightlife in the same place? OCVIBE balances the buzz with 20 acres of green space, including two massive parks and three miles of walking trails. Jog with a beautiful river backdrop, lounge under a digital waterfall in Urban Park or picnic between Orange County’s arenas. There’s plenty of space to soak in the SoCal sunshine around every corner. It’s giving city-meets-serenity, and we’re here for it!
5 | Designed for Every Day
OCVIBE Residential isn’t just a weekend wonder—it’s built for the everyday. This live/work/play district features residential communities, including affordable housing! Cutting-edge office spaces like The Weave (hello, outdoor conference rooms and rooftop gardens), restaurants, entertainment (and more!) are all within steps. Locals who want more out of where they live will find exactly that in this Orange County residential experience. Where else can you head to a coworking space, grab lunch in the park and dance the night away without leaving home?
6 | Thoughtful, Inspired Design
Inspired by the natural currents of the Santa Ana River, the layout of OCVIBE Anaheim feels more like an experience than a grid. Curving lines guide you through energetic plazas, tranquil parks and bold art installations like Stretto—a sculptural sheet of music that wraps around the concert hall. Every building, pathway and public space is designed to flow seamlessly so visitors can chart their adventure from zen to zany (or both in one night).
7 | More Than a District—A Community Hub
At its core, OCVIBE isn’t just about entertainment—it’s about connection. From interactive art walls to cultural festivals, this district is for those seeking community in an Orange County apartment atmosphere. Come early, stay late and lose yourself in the magic of live music, street performances and late-night eats with friends. Whether you’re watching a Ducks game, checking out an Orange County concert or strolling through, Anaheim’s OCVIBE is where stories will be told—and retold—one epic moment at a time.
