For the past 28 years, the Orange County Democratic Party has been represented in the 4th of July Huntington Beach Parade. Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, Former Senator Joe Dunn, Senator Lou Correra have all been showcased in the parade along with our wonderful Young Democrats. The parade is a wonderful opportunity to show that the Democratic Party is alive and well in Orange County!
The parade begins at 10:00 A.M. and ends at 12:30 P.M. Democrats begin gathering at 7:30 A.M. to march. We will have shuttle cars to take you to the staging area or to the handicap cheering section.
Shuttle Starts: 7:00 A.M.
Last Shuttle: 9:00 A.M.
Please come early, the traffic gets very busy and we cannot transport everyone at the last minute
For parking and shuttling, drive to Seacliff Village, located at Goldenwest and Yorktown. Look for the Del Taco fast food restaurant. Then look for the signs saying “Democratic Parking.”
