CONCERTS BY DATE - ORANGE COUNTY This page lists concerts by date for cities in Orange County. You may view the schedules by scrolling down the page or by clicking a date below. Please remember: although every attempt is made to bring you the most up-to-date concert information possible, all schedules are subject to change. It is recommended that you confirm any performance you wish to attend.
A true "game changer" in photography has been the shift to digital photography in the last decade or so. So, in the "game changing" spirit, you'll be finding a few pictures in which scenes from carnival and festival games have been changed. The pictures will be found on the county "concert by date" pages, and a few are posted here. You'll find one original picture, and beneath or beside it is the same picture but with nine details which have been changed (it's the site's ninth summer, after all). Test your powers of perception. Some changes are big, some changes are small, but each picture has nine in all. Can you find them? Answers are on a separate page. Click here to go to the answer page for Orange County.
