The concept for the event was born out of need, the need for something to do on New Year’s Eve in Southern California. How many times have you heard people say they went to Las Vegas for the clubs, New York for the ball drop or LA for a live music event? If you are a resident of Orange County, then those are three things you have heard repeatedly as they have been our only options. Well, that, the typical dinner and night out around town or house party. What if we took all a little of all of the above and we rolled it into one? What if we created a NYE themed event that incorporated nightclubs, live music, attractions, great food and we dropped an Orange Ball in Orange County? It would surprise you to know that this idea has been on the drawing board for 10 year’s and finally in 2005 that idea was brought to life with the 1st ever Orange County New Year’s Eve at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, California. The event was an instant hit and was proclaimed by the County Board of Supervisors as the Official New Year’s Eve Celebration of Orange County. While our motto is that bigger is definitely better with the OCNYE this year, our motto when it comes to your pocket is that less is definitely more. We have slashed ticket prices by almost ½ of year’s past and most other notable events in the market in order to make the Orange County New Year’s Eve the biggest bang for your buck anywhere on New Year’s Eve. So… get your friends and family together and come out and enjoy an unforgettable evening and one like you have never seen on New Year’s Eve before.  大橘子掉下來倒數計時，沒到現場在網路也可以看喔！ http://www.ocnye.com/about_us.html
