When Henry E. Huntington's newest electric train arrived
in town, the city celebrated with a parade and a new
name, Huntington Beach. Ever since that time the city
has pulled together to celebrate and enjoy an
old-fashioned experience that highlights the community
spirit enjoyed on this West Coast beach city of 200,000.
The parade begins around 10 a.m. and usually ends around
noon. It begins near Main Street and Pacific Coast
Highway and travels along Main Street to Garfield
Street. Brings sunscreens, some water and your spirit to
wave, hoot, holler and celebrate America's Independence
Day.
