🎉 Happy Birthday, Santa Ana! Today, Oct. 27, we celebrate 156 years since William “Uncle Billy” Spurgeon founded Santa Ana in 1869. Spurgeon mapped out the city’s heart along Fourth Street, which quickly became the center of Santa Ana’s commercial and social life. When Santa Ana became the seat of the newly formed Orange County in 1889, downtown Santa Ana served as the county’s hub for shopping, business and government. Learn more about Santa Ana’s rich history by visiting the Santa Ana History

Laissez les bons temps rouler! Join us at the Dr. Willella Howe-Waffle House for an afternoon of reminiscence and celebration as we explore the remarkable life of Santa Ana’s first female physician and the rich history of Mardi Gras. Your ticket includes a guided tour of the stunning Queen Anne–style home, followed by beignets and chicory coffee served in our outdoor garden patio. We look forward to welcoming you!
