Fall in the Great Park neighborhoods comes with a real perk: a calendar of cultural festivals within a short walk or drive of home. The next one on deck is Mehregan.
The short version: Mehregan, billed as "The Persian Festival of Love and Kindness," returns to Great Park Live on October 3–4, 2026. The venue is at 300 Corsair, Irvine, CA 92618, inside the Great Park — walkable or a short drive from Portola Springs, Cadence Park, Solis Park, and the rest of the Great Park neighborhoods. Tickets go through the festival's official partner on Tixr; Great Park Live is explicit that tickets should only be purchased there, since resale isn't permitted.
What is Mehregan?
Mehregan is a Persian autumn festival rooted in themes of gratitude, love, and community — one of several cultural festivals Great Park Live hosts through the fall alongside events like the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Irvine Global Village Festival. For a city that markets itself on cultural diversity as much as on schools and parks, these festivals are a big part of what that actually looks like on the ground.
When and where is Mehregan 2026?
The festival runs October 3–4, 2026 at Great Park Live, 300 Corsair, Irvine, CA 92618. Exact daily hours, performer lineups, and any age or ticket-tier details weren't posted on the venue's event page as of this writing — check the Great Park Live events calendar for the current schedule before you plan your day.
How do I get tickets?
Through Tixr, the festival's official ticketing partner. Great Park Live specifically warns that tickets should only be bought through that official channel and that reselling isn't allowed — worth knowing before you consider a secondhand ticket from a resale site or social media.
Why this matters if you live in Portola Springs or Great Park
It's easy to treat a festival listing as a one-off calendar note, but for homeowners in Portola Springs and the Great Park neighborhoods, it's really a data point about daily life. A weekend like this — drivable or bikeable, family-friendly, free to simply attend even if you skip paid extras — is part of what buyers are actually paying for when they choose these villages over an equally-priced home further from the park. It's also a nice one to have on the radar if you're hosting out-of-town family this fall.
