Golden hour at Newport Dunes. Coastal breeze in the air. Tables filled with fresh local bites and summer cocktails. The 37th annual Hoag Summer Fest, presented by Woodside Credit, delivered an unforgettable evening, bringing together the community in support of something truly meaningful. 

Set against the sparkling waterfront, this beloved event blended the best of Orange County’s food and drink scene with the spirit of generosity that defines Hoag. Guests wandered between buzzing villa lounges, danced to live music, and reconnected under the stars.

Beyond the exceptional atmosphere and culinary delights, the night represents a strong and growing commitment to driving innovation and excellence in health care for our community. This year’s Summer Fest achieved record-breaking fundraising results in support of the Boldly Hoag campaign for the expansion of the Sun Family Campus in Irvine, raising over $500,000, while also engaging hundreds of new supporters in Hoag’s mission. Through this expansion, Hoag is bringing advanced facilities to support specialty services in cancer, digestive health, women’s health, and surgical excellence, ensuring more patients have access to world-class care closer to home. 

Whether returning guests or first-time attendees, everyone shared a clear sense of purpose and partnership in building a bold future for health care in Orange County. 

Save the date for next year’s Hoag Summer Fest: June 18, 2026.
