A Toast to #TasteHB
Over 2,200 people attended this year’s Taste of Huntington Beach, which raises money for the Children’s Library of Huntington Beach. That’s a record number! It was a glorious Sunday afternoon, April 26th. The vibe was chill and the crowds enjoyed tasting food from 48 restaurants and food vendors, drinks from 35 wineries and breweries, as well as live music by Party Jones.
