Of course, we were not sober doing this and thought it was the greatest thing ever. So I noticed- it looks like there are two different Nocturnal Wonderland Yelp pages. I'm not sure which one is the official one. But I'm leaving a review on both pages just to be sure lol Lots of fun! A big party with fun, loving people. All about the lights and music. Good vibes and happiness all around. These rave events are just a blast.

Easy to register, quick check-in, kit items were well made, plenty of food trucks, vendors, and free corn hole games. It is an event for everyone. It was a perfect mommy and son outing. We were able to play a few rounds of cornhole, decorate our water latern and then release the laterns. Such a memorable experience for us both! Just remember to bundle up because it gets cold (we even brought blankets). I've been wanting to attend and @ieyelp reminded it was fast approaching (even offered free general admissions)! A must for us next year!

Once at the entrance, you are scan your ticket and parking with a parking attendant. There is parking available on site, depending on the day and whether it is sold out. It's a good idea is buy parking ahead of time or you will be forced to park in the residential area. The farm is huge and everything is spread out, so expect a lot of walking. You are given a map of the festival. It can be a little hard to follow since not everything is cleared labeled outside the map. The farm has designated areas, such as the shops, food, and activities. Everything is on theme of lavender: food, drinks, and merch. Some that stood out to me is the matcha room, flower market, the blacksmith shop, and a coffee shop. There is 123 merch at some shops and local vendors selling their art work. Theres vendors selling candies, crochet, book marks, crystals, etc. Although the festival entry is at 5, most shops and vendors do not open until 6. Through the farm, there are workers around. However, some can be unfriendly. There are bathrooms and no porta potties! In the food area, there is pizza, sandwiches, carne asada fries, bbq. I ordered from the grill and got a steak sandwich (minus the bread) and they were very accommodating. I received a buzzer and my order did not take long. Dessert, there is ice cream, funnel cake, cheesecake, pies. There are a ton of beverage options besides coffee and matcha, like lemonade and alcohol. There is a stage for live music and lots of seating for eating. Music acts are listed online and on the map. There alot of spots for photo ops and there is also a Photo Booth! Such a great place, I've been to events at the 123 farm and I always enjoy it.

The food was delicious. Had pizza with fig & lavender goat cheese (delicious!), lavender margarita was amazing, lavender cheesecake, lavender lemon bar and lavender/lemon donuts. We also signed up to make our own perfume. It was fun and I wear my perfume to work. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will be back in the fall.

Good thing I wasn't behind someone who stood up. I couldn't hear words sung by one of the female performers because the background music was louder than her voice. Someone once said "the music should compliment the singer". I was amazed that this theater seats so many people. The seats were somewhat comfortable. For those who left at 9:30 p.m. before the second session-you missed a personal performance by E.J. and son, a message from E.J.'s brother to their father who passed away a year ago. It became personal and the songs were better for me.

A community event for families to enjoy festivities in December. Food vendors, goodie bags and giveaways for all the kids in attendance. The stage is where they'll get to meet with Santa along with great photo op. The line formed down the sidewalk with kids ready to share their Christmas wishes. Right in front of the convention center was a snow slope. This was a popular station to slide down with sleds on a sunny California winter day. A few Christmas themed sports cars were on display along with step and repeat signage and life size Barbie boxes to step into and strike a pose. DJ kept the vibes resonating down Main Street. Limited parking available in front of the convention center or surrounding sidewalks. There is also a parking structure next to the food lab just a block away or valet through the mission inn.

Rather than the historically accurate and moving drama of the past, the new director seems to have changed the act into one heavily permeated with frivolity and foolishness. There was a great deal of what he called native dancing that was nothing more than many kids simply kicking their feet in the air. And the girl they have playing Ramona this season does not sing well yet they had her struggling to carry a tune more than once. The show was lightly attended, and I doubt that it will do much better for the few performances remaining.

Note, I could find the kit for under $5 dollars per person on Amazon. You're paying for the opportunity to let your lantern drift into the lake and it's pretty satisfying. Seeing all the lanterns float together and observing everyone's wishes, hopes, challenges, and positive messages posted on the lanterns was inspiring! The staff at check-in was really polite and helpful. There's live music but it's for about 30mins or so, wish it was longer. Also, there's food trucks (stay away from the Salt N Pepper Truck, I wasted most of the festival waiting in line). I wish the staff was monitoring more, there's a lot of people, so I wish they were tending to the guests. I was happy that there was police presence as the sheriff station is nearby to this festival site. There's merchandise at the Festival Shop if you're looking to buy any keepsakes and there's local vendors alongside the Elm Grove Beach sidewalk. The festival here in Lake Elsinore is still growing so lots of kinks are still being worked out. The parking situation is madness. The venue is not good for a festival this size so expect to park on the street and/or walk from several blocks away. Bring a cart to load your chairs. I'll return but I'm definitely bringing my own food next time!

Upon my arrival at the Hysterical Hemet Theater (also known as Historic Hemet Theater) on Saturday,…read moreNovember 1, festival staff retrieved founder Daniel Maggio, who was busy splicing together and repairing damaged films so they could be shown on time. Daniel gave me a warm greeting, and I immediately scoped out the handicapable seating in the front row. Very comfortable seating. Glad I arrived early because it was "standing room only" for the two-day festival kickoff of five short films. One of the shorts was about a teenage boy who got kicked out of Disneyland ages ago for dancing with another teenage boy. It wasn't too bad. It was titled Dancing in Doodaland, something like that. I chuckled during certain portions because they were funny. The choreographed dance routines in an old Santa Ana courthouse were the best part of the film. Award-winning director Jakob Roston, a recent graduate of UCLA, conceived the film. One of the exceptional films was another award-winning film, Hapless Revenge, where the United States Cavalry arrives at a war-devastated southern plantation to formally announce the Emancipation Proclamation, but is instead informed of a unique state of affairs. Director Joshua Lavelle Newman filmed this in Rancho Cucamonga, California. A little trivia: my visit to the Historic Hemet Theater (now more than 100 years old) was literally the first time I had been inside a movie theater since 2004, when I watched The Aviator (21 years ago). There were obnoxious patrons in front of me at an upscale Palm Springs theater, and I have stayed away from theaters ever since. Next year, I hope my work schedule is lighter so I can watch more films in the town where I have recently moved to: Hemetwood!
