Popular band headlines 5th annual Founder’s Day Fair September 25
Open Wide, a popular rock ‘n’ roll band, will headline Aliso Viejo’s 5th annual Founder’s Day Fair on Saturday, September 25 at the Aliso Viejo Ranch, 100 Park Avenue.
Serving up tunes that cater to the masses, the Southern California band offers an eclectic blend of rock performed with talent and zeal.
The City’s annual fair, which takes place from noon to 6 p.m., transforms the 7-acre Aliso Viejo Ranch back to its California ranching roots with an old barn, bunkhouse and lots of history. Visitors to the fair will enjoy a day at the ranch with live entertainment, a water balloon launch and dunk tank; giant slide; climbing wall; games; demonstrations; gold panning; pony rides; delectable fare for purchase; and much more. Admission is free.
Local non-profit organizations are invited to provide food or activity booths during the popular event that attracts people of all ages. Space is limited and booths are filling up fast. The City is also seeking local community talent to showcase. Groups and individuals interested in performing and non-profits interesting in hosting a booth should contact Kristin at kolsen@cityofalisoviejo.com.
Information about the event is available on the City’s Web site at www.cityofalisoviejo.com.
