Surf City Music Festivals: Pictured left &\u00a0center is Santa Cruz Mountain Sol Festival held in a beautiful meadow surrounded by redwood trees. Pictured right is\u00a0Sundown Music Festival<\/a>\u00a0held at Huntington State Beach, featuring a “Big Kids” playground with inflatable\u00a0water slides, ziplines,\u00a0fully stocked bars and Electronic Dance Music.<\/p>\n

Instead of\u00a0Santa Cruz\u00a0“Sol” (which can mean music or sun,) Huntington Beach’s “Sun”down Festival comes ahead of a\u00a0tourism\u00a0campaign branding HB as\u00a0the “Soul of SoCal”. While the tussle over who’s the REAL Surf City<\/a> may be nearly forgotten, Santa Cruz was branded “The Soul of Surfing” by the Salinas Valley Tourism and Visitors Bureau (soulofca.org) over a year\u00a0ago, so there should be no stepping on toes thankfully.<\/p>\n
