When to Visit - Arts and Events

It is a tradition in Anaheim to dedicate solid structures such as roads, stadiums and even whole areas to worthy local people. The city has an enormous sense of pride and this accolade is recognised as the highest honour that an individual can receive. Glover Stadium is named after local resident and district council member, Dick Glover; Yorba Park after the first European family to settle in Orange County; Dee Dee Field after the groundskeeper at Glover Stadium; Gene Autry Way after the man who introduced professional sport to the city and Adele, Alberta, Claudina, Emily, Mavis, Paulina, Sabrina and Wilhemina Streets, which are all named after Anaheim's pioneering women.

Anaheim Dining

Offering a global selection of cooking styles, the city houses restaurants specialising in all kinds of dishes, from simple lunches to five-course banquets. The basis of many meals is fresh, locally grown produce, from which gifted chefs create exotic masterpieces with flavours and spices from every culture and cooking style in North America, South America, Europe, the Far East and beyond! With over 60 restaurants and cocktail lounges in the immediate vicinity of the Anaheim Convention Center, visitors can find something to suit every taste.

Anaheim Tipping Advice

Throughout America tipping is more or less compulsory and Anaheim is no different. Porters and bellboys at your hotel will anticipate USD 1.00 to USD 2.00 per item of baggage, and restaurant waiting staff expect a gratuity of 15% to 20% of the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers also expect a similarly proportioned tip, in addition to your fare.
