The Kiwanis Club of Huntington Beach, on behalf of its Foundation, is proud to sponsor an annual 4th of July Pancake Breakfast at Lake Park in Huntington Beach. This is a legacy event planned to help the City celebrate our great nation’s 250th Birthday. According to Bill Ellis, a 50+ year member of the club, the event dates back to 1976 when the breakfast kicked off the USA 200 celebration.
The event begins at 7 a.m. and concludes at 10 a.m. with the start of the Huntington Beach Parade. Breakfast includes pancakes, eggs, sausage, and a beverage all for the friendly price of $10. Tickets are available on the Kiwanis website at http://www.kiwanishb.org.
Event Co-chair Jim Ketchersid said: “The event brings the community together to celebrate the holiday with a great breakfast prepared by volunteering Kiwanians and served by the club’s sponsored youth clubs from local high schools.”
Huntington Beach City Council member and former mayor Pat Burns said: “The Kiwanis 4th of July pancake breakfast is always a hit!” In 2025 the annual breakfast served more than 800 meals. “Good food and the proceeds go to Kiwanis scholarships and other charitable efforts! It’a a quality breakfast for a great price! Don’t miss this pre-parade event!”
Kiwanis Club of Huntington Beach President Kathy Knight said: “For generations, Kiwanis pancake breakfast has been a tradition that brings our community together. It’s a chance to celebrate our country, reconnect with neighbors and support programs that benefit local children and families. We would love to see everyone there this year enjoying some pancakes.”
