Huntington Downtown A Fun and Festive Week

06.17.15

It’s a busy and fun week in Huntington Beach Downtown. Starting with the HB Downtown Art Walk on Thursday, June 18 from 6 to 9 p.m. You can come out and check out artists located in locations throughout the downtown--from Orange St., down Main St., and all the way to The Strand.

HB Downtown Art Walk is held every third Thursday of each month from 6 to 9 p.m. Art work is available for purchase.

On Saturday, June 20  from 9 a.m. to noon, it’s the Epic Big Board Ride where participants will try to break the Guinness World Records for "Most People Riding a Surfboard at Once." A custom made 42-foot long surfboard dubbed the “World’s Largest Surfboard” will be at the south side of the Huntington Beach Pier.

Following the epic attempt to break the Guinness World Records, there’s the tasty event—8th annual Chili at the Beach- from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It’s the HB Downtown contest for the best chili in the community. Come out and help crown the winner. Since it’s Father's Day Weekend, you can also shop from vendors geared to fathers. Live music and entertainment will make it a festive day.

Purchase tickets online at hbdowntown.com for chili tasting. Tickets are $10 online or $15 at the event.

The New Giant Wheel: Dazzling and Energy Efficient

06.16.15

Irvine Spectrum Center’s 108-foot Giant Wheel, a spectacle as it was, is now more spectacular and energy efficient.

The Giant Wheel’s 12,500 standard bulbs were just replaced with more than 52,000 energy-efficient LED lights that can illuminate the center with 16 million different color schemes.

The new Giant Wheel will also be a showstopper during the holidays and special events, as it features an LED face of vibrant hues and an array of designs.

Made in Italy more than a decade ago, the Giant Wheel features Andalusian-inspired gondolas and is open for rides from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; and 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Irvine Spectrum Center is at 670 Spectrum Center Drive in Irvine.
