City leaders in the conservative-leaning coastal community of Huntington Beach, California, are replacing some ethnic and identity-related celebrations—like those related to LBGT pride and black, Asian, and indigenous history—in favor of commemorating historical local, state, and national events.
With its new celebrations calendar, “Surf City” will honor the historic heritage of the United States, California, and Huntington Beach, according to the plan approved at a Dec. 19 meeting.
