Festival offers God, music and surfing

Calvary Chapel of the Harbour and Surfriders Academy will host their first Labour of Love Music Festival during Labor Day weekend.

The one-day event will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 31 at the north end of Bolsa Chica State Beach.

More than 50 vendors will set up shop, and eight bands will provide live music throughout the day, said Marcus Barrera, founder of Surfriders Academy and a member of Calvary Chapel of the Harbour, in Sunset Beach.

Free surf lessons will be given to the first 40 children who arrive, he said.

Barrera said this is a way for the only church in Sunset Beach to give back to the Huntington Beach community.

“It’s going to be exciting,” he said. “We don’t know how many people are going to show up, but we do know that Labor Day weekend is one of the busiest weekends of the summer.”
