October in Huntington Beach means chili on Main Street, costumes in Central Park, and a Bavarian village next to the 405. Lane Stone lays out the three events worth planning your fall weekends around, then digs into how Old World ended up in Surf City in the first place.

Plus: a family haunted house from 1990s HB that some longtime locals might still remember.

What you'll learn:
- When Chili at the Beach takes over Main Street (Sunday, Oct. 11), and which museum the tasting wristbands support
- What's happening at Fall-O-Ween in Huntington Central Park (Saturday, Oct. 17), and how to get Lane to cover your Fun Zone wristband
- The Torrance connection and the German village that inspired Old World
- How long Oktoberfest at Old World has been running, and what's on the 2026 lineup (wiener dog races included)
- What Halloween looked like at the Newland Barn back in 1994

Comment "Fall-O-Ween" on the YouTube episode and Lane will cover your Fun Zone wristband.

Parking in Huntington Beach isn't one system — it's three, and they don't share rates or passes. Lane Stone, born and raised in HB, walks through where to park based on what you're actually coming to do, from Main Street to the sand at Bolsa Chica.

What you'll learn:
- Why the Main Promenade garage on Main Street is Lane's first recommendation for downtown HB
- The arrival-time rule for grabbing Pier Plaza on a summer weekend
- Where to park for Huntington Dog Beach (hint: not near the pier)
- The Bolsa Chica State Beach vs. Ecological Reserve mix-up, and which side of PCH you want
- When the city's annual beach parking permit pays off, and where it won't work

The Huntington Beach bike trail runs about 8.5 paved miles from Bolsa Chica to Huntington State Beach — and you can ride the whole coastline without moving your car once. Lane Stone rides it end to end, from the Sunset Beach greenbelt down to the Santa Ana River Trail junction, and flags the rules, crowds, and turnaround points most riders find out the hard way.

There's one thing you absolutely cannot do with your bike at the HB Pier. Lane covers it around the halfway mark.

What you'll learn:
- Where the trail actually starts — Warner Ave and PCH for the simple version, the Sunset Beach greenbelt (Linear Park) if you want the extra mile and a half
- Why the 2.9-mile Bolsa Chica stretch is the calmest section of the whole route, and why the paved path is not the same thing as the Ecological Reserve trails across PCH
- The posted speed rules through Huntington Dog Beach between Seapoint and Goldenwest — including when you're required to walk the bike
- What you can and can't do with a bike at the Huntington Beach Pier, plus the free bike valet at the Strand
- Three options at the Santa Ana River Trail junction: turn back, keep going toward Newport, or head inland on the OC Loop
- Realistic timing — roughly two hours if you're riding, three to four if you're actually stopping
