Huntington Beach 4th of July Parade, the largest such parade
west of the Mississippi, has been celebrated annually since
1904. 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.
