In early February, runners from near and far lace up for this award-winning course, considered one of the country’s best. The race pushes off along the Pacific Coast Highway and passes Huntington Beach and the beautiful Bolsa Chica Wetlands. Post-finish line celebrations happen on the beach, at the uber-festive Sand Bar.
Taste of Huntington Beach
In late April, foodies unite to feast on unlimited tastes from more than 50 local eateries, while sipping samples from California wineries and breweries too. The festive gathering features live music, a silent auction and raffle prizes; proceeds benefit the local library.
Coastal Country Jam
Sweet tunes take over Huntington State Beach in late June. Concertgoers of all ages soak in live music as well as highlights like a Ferris wheel, line dancing and art installations. The set times get released the week prior to the event on the Jam’s website and Facebook page.
Van’s U.S. Open of Surfing
Since 1959, this water-centric spectacular has taken over Huntington Beach to showcase the slickest surfers around. One of the US’s largest action sports festivals, this majorly competitive event (in late July/early August) features entertainers, artists, skateboarders and BMX competitors, too.
