It’s the First Day of Fall! 3 Great Autumn Stops in Costa Mesa
It’s the first day of fall! Though Costa Mesa is known for year-round sunshine, Southern California still cools down as we hit the fall season. Locals reach deep into the closet to grab that fuzzy sweater or long boots you can only wear here for a few months. You can observe dads clearing out their driveways with leaves that are starting to pile up using leaf blowers. If you don’t have one yet, BestofMachinery can provide you with the list of the best leaf blowers for you.
And, we still get in the mood for fall by enjoying cool-weather eats and drinks and cozy spots to curl up. With the fall days quickly approaching, we picked a few stops that will definitely get you in the autumn mood.

Carving Pumpkins for a Great Cause at The OC MIX – OC GUTS!
On October 24, the most creative will gather in Costa Mesa for an epic pumpkin-carving competition to serve a very worthy cause. The primary goal of OC GUTS is to unify the creative community in support of a worthy and meaningful charity, Make-A-Wish® Orange County and the Inland Empire — an organization that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.
GUTS allows local artists and creatives to enter a friendly competition to see who has what it takes to carve the best pumpkin of the year. The pumpkins are judged by respected leaders in the design community and the event encourages strong local involvement and support by allowing guests to attend, bid on creative one-of-a-kind pumpkins to take home, vote on a favorite pumpkin and enjoy the festivities of a high-energy event.
This community-wide event will bring in the best creative talent in the area, as well as the support of generous sponsors. Sponsors include 454 Creative and the American Institute of Graphic Arts, among local businesses.
Check our calendar for more details on this great event!
