Costa Mesa in the News

Costa Mesa in the News

Known as the City of the Arts®, Costa Mesa is truly a destination built upon creativity in both fine and performing arts, as well as culinary arts, fashion design and architecture. For these reasons and more, the Orange County Register dubbed Costa Mesa  the "Capital of Cool." Visitors from around the world come to Costa Mesa to find the lesser-known gem of a city in the heart of Orange County where they can stay, play and be close to the beautiful Pacific Ocean and other favorite attractions that make Southern California one of the most desired places to visit.
