MISSION STATEMENT
The Downtown Huntington Beach Business Improvement District is a business organization, dedicated to enhancing the downtown business environment by providing opportunities, service, information and encourages businesses to work together for their collective best interest. It perpetuates the spirit, values and vision that a community must exercise in order to achieve an exemplary life style.
Huntington Beach is such a beautiful place to live. You'll fall in love and never want to leave. How can you not be swept by the romance of the sea? As the big golden globe sets over Catalina Island (the island of romance) Huntington Beach comes alive with colors never seen. Have you seen my HB -- the HB locals know and love? It's a beautiful paradise of color and light, water & sand.
Ideal for weddings, one of the premier beaches, Huntington Beach, includes 8.5 miles of sandy beaches stretching along the Pacific Ocean that are free for the public to use for outdoor recreation. Located in Orange County between Newport Beach, Long Beach and Anaheim's Disneyland, Huntington Beach features pleasant weather, the famous Huntington Beach Pier, beautiful sunsets (see Photo Gallery), huge beaches, bike riding or jogging paths next to the ocean and supreme surfing.
Huntington Beach California USA - Are you looking for a great information about our favorite city, Huntington Beach? This beach town offers beach sports, resorts and the old-fashioned Main Street nightlife that's simple, a bit funky and comfortably casual. Part of the California beaches experience, visit and see why guests have such a great time.
Main Street is the spot to shop and dine. There are hundreds of places within the city and nearby in Huntington Beach, which features warm, sandy beaches along the Pacific Ocean, beckoning tourists to play. This safe city has the longest municipal concrete pier in California, 8.5 miles of smooth sand, mild climate all year long and some of the best surfing waves in the United States. With natural beauty reminiscent of the Hawaiian Islands, over 11 million people are drawn each year to this Southern California location.
Annual events in Surf City may keep you in town, however. They include US Open of Surfing, skateboard and BMX competitions, Paintball World Series, 4th of July Parade, Duck-A-Thon and Halloween on Main Street. Those who love being outdoors can experience the waves, ride the skate parks and paths and lay on the sandy beach all year long. Adults, children and teens love to sit along Main Street, too, and dine on delicious foods while watching the parade of swim suits, surf boards and traffic pass through a five block stretch of shops and outdoor cafes. It's a casual place where the only suit you'll need is a swim suit or wet suit. Even the finest restaurants in town do not require neckties.
Each year in Huntington Beach there are new events from the Downtown HB, plus more sun, more sand and more fun. We've been out there pounding the pavement with our own 2 feet to bring you the best of Huntington Beach in this new Picture Events Calendar. With tons of photos of Huntington Beach to knock you off your socks, we're glad you found us and hope you'll enjoy the beach vibe in this very special place.

~Upcoming Events~
-Halloween-
Southern California, home to Hollywood and make-believe, loves to celebrate fantasy both during the Academy Awards Celebration and Halloween. Halloween is not just a night of Trick or Treating for the kids, it's an opportunity for adults to concoct original and creative costumes and for one night be someone or something else.
While some confess to planning their costumes months in advance, many start their search in October, scouting costume stores that rent apparel ranging in prices from $25 to $500 dollars.
For over a decade, Huntington Beach, California's Main Street has closed around 4 p.m. on October 31 to make way for the annual Halloween Celebration. Downtown merchants hand out candy to trick or treat youth from 6 to 8:30 p.m. when the street is designated a children's fun zone. Moon bounces, pony rides, petting zoo, balloons and a costume contest all make this a night to remember. And it's totally free.
What's especially interesting from a sociological perspective, however, is the ambiance that welcomes the 21 and older crowd who find downtown especially enjoyable and friendly on this fantasy night.
-Christmas-

When Santa Claus comes to town, he rides around on a motorcycle or a Huntington Beach Lifeguard truck. Huntington Beach is the quintessential Southern California town featuring a warm, laid back holiday style of fun, festivity and craziness that makes young and old alike laugh and enjoy life.
Pictured above are the motorcycle Santa Clauses giving high fives to Huntington Beach's own Santa Claus who walked the downtown Main Street region, giving candy to boys and girls during the holiday season

The exciting Super 7 format matches two seven-man teams against each other on a field about the size of a tennis court with a number of inflated shapes that offer some cover to the players.
