Tours depart every 15 minutes from 10:45am to 3:30pm .

There will also be train tours. You will be able to tour the port and be able to see it in full working swing. You will be able to see the longshoremen in action as the load and unload the cargo from the large ships. Trains will be departing every hour beginning at 10:30 and ending with the last train at 2:30 pm.

Green Port Fest is held in the grounds of the Port Administration building. The event is absolutely free and open to the public. You can part at the Long Beach convention center and will be shuttled for free to the event.

The Orange County Children’s Book Festival is an event that I highly recommend for families with children. The one day festival brings the joy of reading to children and features over 80 children’s book authors and vendors.

Not only is this an educational event, it is an absolute fun event! There will be so many fun activities for the kiddos including free train rides, a kids craft corner, face painting, petting zoo and much more. There will also be storytime, entertainment and if your kiddos love the Wonder Pets there will be a live performance. There will be art demonstrations and live entertainment. It’s one event you do not want to miss!

The best part is that the event and parking to the event are free.
