You can park-and-shuttle at Peter’s Landing and also at the parking lot at the end of Warner Avenue, with regular shuttle buses transporting you to the festival. The festival is sponsored by Las Damas, a women’s nonprofit promoting the arts, philanthropy and education. Las Damas was founded in May 1948 and put on the Beachcomber’s Carnival, a forerunner of the Sunset Beach Art Festival, in July of that year. Sunset Beach, a formerly unincorporated stretch of coastline, was annexed into the city of Huntington Beach in 2011.
