SoCal Corgi Beach Day

April 1, 2023 | 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Corgi Beach Day is a biannual event that takes place at Huntington Dog Beach in the spring and fall. The largest bash of its kind, the event celebrates all things corgis; the cute little dogs are known for their great personalities, adorable coats, and friendly smiles. Corgi owners and dog enthusiasts commune from all over to pawty at the beach and enjoy themed contests and activities, photo stations, dog-centric vendor village, corgi kissing booth, gourmet food truck pavilion, and much more! All dogs (and humans) are welcome to attend this free, family-friendly event.
