SPONSORSHIP
OPPORTUNITIES

Place your brand in front of tens of thousands in an iconic, oceanfront setting in Orange County. Huntington Beach is a target-rich area for all things automotive HotRods, Muscle Cars, Customs, and Classics and now, our local Heroes!

The main event is free to the public and designed as a come-one, come-all celebration with live music on the main stage, numerous food vendors, and more.
