Surf City Celebrates 250th Birthday | Venice Beach News

Huntington Beach is throwing its biggest Independence Day party yet to celebrate America’s 250th birthday — with fireworks, a five-K, a three-day pier festival, and a parade that’s become the West Coast’s longest-running tradition. The mayor debuted a new patriotic logo and the pier will glow in red, white, and blue. Local artist Melissa Murphy is turning her yard into a star-spangled spectacle, painting George Washington in a Surf City hat and building a Statue of Liberty replica. With half a million expected to flood in, the city hopes this milestone will unite the nation — one beach towel, one sparkler, one unforgettable celebration at a time.
