As Orange County and the rest of the USA emerge from pandemic hibernation, Huntington Beach welcomes you and your family to a summer unlike any other. Beach Boulevard of Cars is excited to present this curated list of the 2021 events you can enjoy at Surf City.

US Open of Surfing (Coming Soon)
Keep your eyes peeled for this defining event of the city. Van’s, the sponsor, promises this competition will return this summer. If you’re coming just to watch the pros hit the waves, the 7-passenger 2021 Dodge Durango can fit you and all your buds on three rows. Want to take a board or two to test the waters? There’s room at the top of the 2021 Subaru Outback, which features raised roof rails and enhanced tie-down points as well as inside when you fold down the seatbacks. Or put all your gear in the cargo bed of the new Ram 1500 pickup, and you can simply pull it out when you’re ready to hang 10 on the waves.

Concours d’Elegance (August 1)
On the surface, this gathering shows off classic automobiles and motorcycles. But underneath, the non-paid volunteers are busy raising funds for the Children’s Resource Center wing at the Huntington Beach Public Library. If you want the entire family to enjoy the hot rods and restored antiques, take everybody in the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica, which can accommodate up to eight and cleans up the mess after with the Stow ‘n Vac® integrated vacuum powered by RIDGID®. Soloists can squeeze into scarce parking with the 2021 Kia Rio or match the cool machines on display with the sporty 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata.

Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve (Any Time)
You don’t have to wait for a special event to explore the city, attracting tourists and residents because of its unique features. One wonder is this free to visit wetlands area that is a haven for waterbirds, snakes, and other exciting creatures. When you visit, you can highlight nature with eco-friendly vehicles like the 2021 Toyota Prius, the pacesetter of all eco-friendly consumer vehicles. If you prefer to minimize your impact on the environment, go all-electric with the Nissan LEAF®, which avoids gas stations altogether.

Great Pacific Air Show (October 1-3)
With appearances by such well-regarded teams as the US Navy Blue Angeles, Canadian Forces Snow Birds, US Marine Corps Osprey Demo Team, and others, this show takes the fun into the sky. One of the best ways to watch the aerobatic thrills is from your convertible with the top down, like the 2021 Ford Mustang or the 2021 Chevrolet Corvette. You’ll also get spectacular views if you remove the roof and doors from the new Jeep Wrangler. As a bonus, any of these vehicles will make you look fantastic as you drive along the Pacific Coast Highway.

Indoors (Any Time)
When you want a break from all the solar heat, head indoors to air-conditioned delights such as the shops at Pacific City. You’ll have room for plenty of shopping finds when you fold the rear seatbacks of the new Volkswagen Tiguan. For a night at Shooters or HyRoys Bar, you can depend on the safety assists of the 2021 Hyundai Venue to get you there and back. If you need to take a trip away from Huntington Beach, the dependable Honda Civic provides you with up to 38 MPG on the highway to get you there.
