HUNTINGTON BEACH
The City of Huntington Beach, aka “Surf City USA,” thrives with California beach culture. The City’s 195,000 residents and 11 million annual visitors enjoy the surf, sand, sun, and subtle sophistication that encapsulate what Huntington Beach is all about during the many unique events and street fairs that take place throughout the year such as the weekly “Surf City Nights” and “Art-A-Faire” craft shows, monthly Huntington Beach Art Walk, spring’s “Duck-A-Thon” fundraiser, and winter’s festive “Cruise of Lights Boat Tour.” Sundays in the summer are filled with concerts on the beach.
Huntington Beach is also home to Orange County’s community television network, KOCE, Huntington Beach High School District’s magnet school, the Academy for the Performing Arts, the SoCal Independent Film Festival, the Huntington Beach Art Center, Huntington Beach Playhouse, and the International Surfing Museum.
