More than 107 years ago, the people of Huntington Beach
started a tradition of Celebrating Freedom. With our
nation’s Independence Day as its backdrop, young and old
gathered along Main Street to cheer as the parade passed by.
A day at the beach was in order complete with hot dogs, ice
cream, cool sodas and cotton candy. City parks were filled
to overflowing with sack races, watermelon and pie eating
contests and sun-kissed kids energized by the wonder of it all.
As the years glided by, Huntington Beach’s 4th
of July
Celebration became a year-round volunteer effort with a
parade that has evolved into more than 300 entries featuring
celebrities, bands, community groups, floats, local and
regional dignitaries and honored members of our armed
forces who have preserved the security and freedom of our
country since its inception. Now known as the “largest 4th
of
July Parade west of the Mississippi,” folks come from miles
around to see the parade and enjoy the day.
Events have been added that now include an entire day of
celebration. Starting with the early morning Surf City 5K
Run and Fitness Expo, and the Pancake Breakfast in Lake
Park, these early birds can claim easy parking and a prime
viewing location ahead of an expected crowd numbering
in the tens of thousands along the historic Main Street
Parade Route.
Entertainment that lasts the whole afternoon can be enjoyed
at the Pier Plaza Festival on the Pier at Main and Pacific Coast
Highway. Displays, food, souvenirs, and activities for kids of
all ages fill the hours while last minute preparations are made
for the spectacular night time Fireworks Extravaganza shot
from the end of the Huntington Beach Pier. At dusk all eyes
turn toward the Pacific as the first shells light up the night sky.
This fun-filled day will capture the imagination of all who
embrace the idea of Celebrating Freedom. Join us for all the
fun. Bring your family, neighbors and friends to Huntington
Beach’s largest celebration of the year—the 107th
Annual
Huntington Beach 4th
of July Parade and Celebration where
everyone in town will be Celebrating Freedom!

Welcome to the Annual Celebration of our fabulous Fourth of July Parade.
One hundred and seven years ago, the residents of Huntington Beach held
a Fourth of July parade even before the City was incorporated. That is how
important this event is to our community. Even though the automobiles have
changed, the floats are more “high tech” and the band members sometimes
wear Hawaiian shirts and sunglasses, one thing has not changed…
The Huntington Beach Annual Fourth of July Parade is still the best
community event of the year and celebrates our city’s commitment to our
country and its independence. It showcases the dedication of our residents
and leaders and demonstrates the collaboration of our volunteer groups,
elected officials and businesses.
Congratulations to our grand marshals and honored guests who are the ambassadors of the parade. We are so proud to have
you all in our city to share this extraordinary day with the Huntington Beach community. A special congratulations to our
Community Grand Marshal—Natalie Kotsch. Natalie is a deserving individual who sets an example for all of the consummate
volunteer. Also congratulations to the Bill Gallienne Awardee—Former Community Services Director Jim Engle. Jim spent his
career making sure the City’s quality of life was enhanced through recreation and human services.
We wish you all- residents and visitors alike- a safe and entertaining July 4th
. Thank you for joining us to celebrate 100 plus
years of our community’s best event. Your support and demonstrated patriotism is what makes Huntington Beach so special
and this event so wonderful.

Our Fourth of July celebrations are perhaps even more special this year.
It is almost ten years since terrorists destroyed people and buildings in
an all out effort to annihilate America. They misjudged one factor—
the American people, their courage and tenacity. As we watch our
spectacular parade, look at the smiling faces around you as we all rejoice
in the freedom and the strength in adversity of our great nation. And
please hold a special thought, on this celebratory day, for all the brave
men and women who would love to be waving a flag with us, but
instead are risking their lives in countries around the world, to keep our
lives here sane, safe, and peaceful.
Of course, we wouldn’t have a parade at all if it wasn’t for the effort and
dedication expounded to the City of Huntington Beach by the Fourth
of July Executive Board, and for the continued support of our ever
generous sponsors, who provide gifts of hotel rooms, food, and parking
spaces, restaurant meals, merchandise, and media coverage that tells the
world what fun we are having. Add the welcome cash donations, and
all who contribute to create a fabulous Fourth. Every company, town
or group who worked hard to build a beautiful float for us to see, the
young people in the bands who have practiced hard to be able to make
great music for us, all add joy to our day.
Our city employees, who volunteer their help and expertise in every
capacity to make sure that everything runs safely and smoothly
for everyone. Thanks and appreciation is given to all these caring
individuals and groups.
Whether you are lucky enough to live in our beautiful city, or maybe
you are visiting from across the nation or the even the sea, please enjoy
this very special day in Huntington Beach!

Tones re-opened the famed
Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa, California and became
the star attraction, playing nightly to thousands of screaming teenagers.
Over a vast career of 50 years, he has received an extensive number of Lifetime

with The Black Eyed Peas Platinum CD Pump It.

When Natalie Kotsch arrived in Huntington Beach in 1976, she didn’t just
find a place to live, she jumped into community service. She chaired the
committee to develop the first ordinance for Mobile Home Park Conversion
and the Downtown Merchants Guild.
And, in the early 1980s, the
vision that would become her
life’s work and passion began to take shape: a museum celebrating the surfing culture
that had put Huntington Beach on the map. Its purpose is to tell the story of surfing
and it’s historic link to “Surf City.” In 1987, a small, city-owned building on Walnut
became its location, and in 1987, the Huntington Beach International Surfing
Museum was officially opened.
Small but dynamic, the museum has become an international icon and houses some
of the most valuable artifacts of surfing culture in the world, including fellow parade
honoree, Dick Dale’s, first electric guitar.
Along the way, Natalie earned the distinctions of Citizen of the Year in 1991, Realtor
of the Year in 1992, and was inducted into the Surfing Walk of Fame in 1998.
In Natalie Kotsch, a small town Canadian girl turned surfing icon, “Celebrating
Freedom” meant the freedom to celebrate her community, dream big and leave a
place better for having lived there.

Ever the gambler, Darrell has been addicted to the “high” of storage auctions for
32 years. While others have turned the gambling side of storage buying into steady
businesses, Darrell is always going for the “big hit.” Boasting a big game, Darrell
is quick to tell you about the four Picassos and the world’s most lucrative comic
book collection that he has scored through storage auctions. With his son Brandon,
Darrell has a small operation based on low volume, no overhead, and high value. If a
locker doesn’t have the big score, Darrell will sell it away before he picks through it.
After years in the business, Darrell no longer collects: “The only thing I collect these
days is dead presidents.” Darrell takes pride in the adventure and education storage
buying has provided him. It’s a lifestyle and skill set he hopes to pass on to his son.

The Surf City Run 5K will kick off the annual
Huntington Beach Fourth of July Celebration
on Monday, July 4th

in the Orange County running community and
brings out a variety of participants from elite
runners to families and kids.
The Surf City Run is a family-friendly run
with distances for family members of all ages.

residents of Huntington Beach. All others are
invited to participate in the Open 5K, starting
at 8:00 AM. For the babies and parents, the

Run, scheduled to start at 9:00 AM. Kids 6 and
under will run .5 miles, and ages 7-12 will run
1 mile. All kids receive an official race t-shirt
and finisher medal!
After the family is done running, stick around
to check out the Surf City Run Fitness Expo,
open from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM Families
can enjoy a variety of food, entertainment, and
music while viewing some of the latest products

Marching today in the parade are members of the official
military family of the city of Huntington Beach, the 3rd
Battalion / 1st
Marine Regiment, out of Camp Pendleton, CA.
In 2005, the city of Huntington Beach, by proclamation
of the city council, adopted the storied “3/1,” and the
Huntington Beach 3/1 Marines Foundation was formed the
following year to oversee all programs, projects and activities
between the battalion and the community.
The “Thundering Third” dates back to WWII and has
participated all major theater events since: Korea, Vietnam,
Operation Desert Storm, Operation Desert Shield Operation Enduring Freedom,
Operation Iraqi Freedom, including the successful campaign to take Fallujah, among others.
The city of Huntington Beach and hundreds of community members have rallied around the “Thundering Third” to send care
packages, provide emergency aid to families, hosted the annual Marine Corps Ball, and much, much more.
On July 30th
, the Foundation will host a “Battalion Family Day” on the beach at Camp Pendleton. This is the 2nd
time this
event will be staged and anyone interested in supporting the event should contact the 3/1 Foundation at 714/375-3131.

“It’s pure joy,” says Chris Hamilton, highly
acclaimed teacher and band leader at Dr.
Martin LeBoldus High School, giving his
best definition of the Best Buddies Blues
Band. “There’s a genuine love of music, of
performing, of friendship and it’s all about
inclusion at every turn.”
The Canadian high school group from
Regina is performing at Disneyland on June
30th
and California Adventure on July 1st
.
Then the group is coming to HB for the
4th
of July Parade, and to enjoy our sunny
shores with a picnic on the beach near the
Pier where they can explore the Pier Plaza
Festival, and take in all the entertainment
before settling down on the beach for the
Fireworks Show.
Created and nurtured by Hamilton, the Best Buddies Blues Band is part of Regina Catholic Schools program for adolescents
with intellectual disabilities who require alternate education programs and services. Welcome to Surf City!
