Surf City Parade

Come join the nation’s 4th largest Independence Day celebration! This year Huntington Beach will be celebrating its 118th annual Independence Day tradition, long-awaited after two years of modified scheduling following COVID-19.
This hometown celebration features four whole days of festivities, from the Surf City 5k run to the July 4th parade, as well as festive house decorating contests with local homes decked out in patriotic flags, sparkles, and even lights! The Pier will also be hosting a four-day carnival with thrilling rides, games, free live music, and so much more for all ages. Events start July 1. For more information.

San Juan Capistrano Carnival

San Juan Capistrano is a highlight for Independence Day celebrations, hosting an entire day of festivities for all to enjoy. If the full-scale carnival with over 20 thrill rides for all ages were not enough, guests will also experience day-long live music beginning at 1:30 p.m., bond over old-fashioned picnic games, and savor delicious treats from food vendors.
