Huntington Beach Fourth of July Parade

Get ready to unleash your inner patriot and paint the town red, white, and blue because the Huntington Beach Fourth of July Parade is the biggest Independence Day blowout west of the Mississippi! Imagine marching bands tooting their horns, vintage cars shining brighter than a bald eagle’s noggin, and floats so fabulous they might just declare their own independence. You will want to stake out your viewing turf early unless you enjoy staring at the back of someone’s festive novelty hat all morning. Complete with a pancake breakfast that could fuel a small army and community pageantry that makes Surf City USA sparkle, this star-spangled coastal spectacle is the ultimate excuse to wear flag-themed shorts in public without an ounce of shame.
