Magic on Main Street, downtown Huntington Beach’s holiday kickoff, is on Tuesday, November 24, 2026. Downtown Huntington Beach lists the event among its signature events with hours of 4 to 7 p.m. Visit Huntington Beach’s event listing gives a 5 p.m. kickoff, so check both pages for the final schedule closer to the date.
What to expect
Organizers have not posted a detailed 2026 lineup yet. Last year’s edition filled the first three blocks of Main Street and neighboring 5th Street with live entertainment, holiday craft vendors, light displays and seasonal treats. It also included a tree lighting at 6 p.m. and photos with Santa.
Last year’s event was presented by the Downtown Huntington Beach Business Improvement District with the City of Huntington Beach, the Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce, The Strand and Visit Huntington Beach.
Getting there
Main Street runs inland from the Huntington Beach Pier at Pacific Coast Highway. Expect crowds downtown on event night and plan extra time for parking.
