The subs have been rolling in lately: thanks to everyone who’s shared events, tips, and local love. It’s helping us keep this newsletter packed with the best of what’s happening around town.

This week alone, we’ve got Disney treating teachers like royalty, NAMM locking in its Anaheim future, and a full slate of weekend fun (kittens, model trains, and a Broadway dance party, anyone?).

Keep the recs coming, and we’ll keep bringing the Scoop: the big stuff, the quirky stuff, and everything in between.

Just Opened

🍺 Finney's Crafthouse

Fresh off its August 7th debut, Finney’s Crafthouse brings its signature mix of scratch-made comfort food, craft beer, and family warmth right to Anaheim.

Sip a Ham’s Old Fashioned or a house-brewed pale ale while digging into Carnitas Nachos, mahi-mahi tacos, or a juicy bison burger. With Disney heritage woven into its walls and 30+ beers on tap, it’s the perfect post-park hideaway. Learn more here.

🖼️ Muzeo Museum and Cultural Center

Set inside Anaheim’s historic Carnegie Library, Muzeo Museum and Cultural Center is a small but ever-changing space that makes every visit feel fresh.

Past exhibits have explored everything from Japanese American history to turn-of-the-century Halloween postcards, and now the team is gearing up for fall.

Mark your calendar for September 13 at 4 p.m., when Muzeo reopens with “Lowrider Culture in the United States” and the 61st Annual Anaheim Art Association Juried Exhibition, celebrated with a free opening reception. Learn more here.

🍎 Disneyland Thanks Anaheim Teachers

The Gist: Just before the school year began, Disneyland Resort surprised more than 100 Orange Grove Elementary educators with free tickets to its 70th anniversary celebration. Cast Members also donated a record 68,000 school supplies, from crayons to notebooks, for Anaheim’s elementary classrooms.

Why It Matters: Teachers got a big boost of support and appreciation as they head into a new year. Anaheim residents can join the festivities with a special $70 ticket for a limited time, park reservations required. Read more here.

🎶 NAMM Show Staying in Anaheim Through 2030

The Gist: The world’s largest music products trade show isn’t going anywhere. The National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) has renewed its deal with Visit Anaheim, keeping its massive January convention (which draws over 63,000 visitors and $120 million annually) in the city through at least 2030.

Why It Matters: NAMM is Orange County’s second-largest convention and a major boost for hotels, restaurants, and small businesses. The 50th Anaheim NAMM Show happens next year, alongside the group’s 125th anniversary. Read more here.
