About 13 years ago, a small gathering of just 15 Corgis took place on Huntington Beach to celebrate nearly a year of recovery for a pup named Mr. Pickles, who had endured multiple knee surgeries. What began as a casual meetup quickly gained momentum: three months later, 100 people showed up… then 500, then 1,000. You get the idea. Fast forward more than a decade, and SoCal Corgi Beach Day, which falls on a weekend in mid-October, has grown into a one-of-a-kind spectacle — now the largest Corgi event in the world, drawing thousands of these fluffy, happy dogs (and their humans) to the California coast for some pup fun in the sun.
