Huntington Beach is a seaside city in Orange County in Southern California. According to the 2010 census, the city population was 189,992; making it the largest beach city in Orange County in terms of population. It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on the southwest, by Seal Beach on the northwest, by Costa Mesa on the east, by Newport Beach on the southeast, by Westminster on the north, and by Fountain Valley on the northeast.

It is known for its long 8.5 mi (13.7 km) beach, mild climate, and excellent surfing. The waves are a unique natural effect caused by edge-diffraction of ocean swells by the island of Catalina, and waves from distant hurricanes.

Frothy German beer, festive brass bands and dachsund races — what's not to love about Oktoberfest? California travel expert Veronica Hill of www.CaliforniaTravelExpert.com tours the Old World Oktoberfest in this episode of "California Travel Tips." The history of Oktoberfest dates back to 1810 in Munich, Bavaria, when King Ludwig the First married Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. Today the Munich Oktoberfest draws more than 6 million people a year. Old World Huntington Beach offers an authentic German Oktoberfest in California. This charming village, built in 1978, mimics a real Bavarian town with cobblestone streets, beautiful murals, European markets, and plenty of authentic German food. You can even go downstairs into a German-style Rathskeller and enjoy real German beers such as Spaten, Bitburger or Warsteiner. Though its open year round, Old World really comes alive during Oktoberfest, held annually in September and October. You cant help but get caught up in the fun as party goers dance to Oktoberfest music and Oktoberfest girls pass out delightful liqueurs from the Old Country. My favorite part? The dachsund races, featuring the fastest wiener dogs in the Southland, and the old-fashioned contortionist show featuring two 70-year-old sisters straight from Germany. Following the show, stroll through the village where you can shop for handmade garden gnomes, try on some Oktoberfest costumes or shop at an authentic German market. At Old World German Restaurant <b>...</b>

On our last night in Huntington Beach, California on our senior trip, we decided to get a little crazy. This video's either hysterical or flat out dumb. If you find you're thinking the latter, then this video's probably one of those "you had to be there things." But you'll catch some funny things in here: -First of all, Janae's in pain because of cramps and does the FUNNIEST things to dull it. -Alex ASKS if it's okay to change; I mean, why wouldn't it be? -The pillow fight where the girls hit each one another...then give the pillow back to the other to have her hit back. -The fact that Janae randomly drags Lianne into her pink pillow...to which Lianne replies with some good lovin'. -Janae SHOVES Lianne off the bed...the sound she makes is pretty funny. -Lianne and Janae's flying lessons...they always say the second time's the charm. We had a good time this night overall, and Hootie and the Blowfish captured it all
