Expected at least more art shops, cafes, etc...pretty run down although trying to start I guess. A couple bars, a bakery, & cafe. Go to the Bowers art museum instead.

We went at 3pm on a Sunday afternoon-- hardly anything was open. Big disappointment. The event on the first Saturday night of the month sounds cool, but other than that not worth it.

This walkable downtown village has become trendy with hip restaurants and cool unique boutiques. There's lots of art shops and art galleries and a big art gallery at the Cal State Art Center. Lots of the local boutiques specialize in California style art with bright colors and a slightly primitive bold style. There is a well respected street fair and art sale once a month but not when we were there.

Check out the trendy restaurants and take extra time to visit the Cal State Fullerton Grand Central Art Center. They have free programs and admission on First Saturdays.

Okay, I heard of this artist's village so I went to Santa Ana just to see what was there, and I honestly didn't see anything worth even stopping for. Disappointed but the drive was nice.
