About the Event

Taste of Oceanside
Saturday, October 3 | 1:30–5 p.m. | Downtown Oceanside

 

Experience Oceanside one bite at a time as you stroll through downtown, discovering the restaurants, breweries, wineries, cafés, and specialty food businesses that make our community so unique.

 

Unlike a traditional food festival, Taste of Oceanside takes you inside the businesses themselves. Meet the people behind your favorite local spots, explore restaurants you've never visited before, chat with chefs and staff, and experience the personality of each location while enjoying exclusive tastings along the way.

 

With approximately 70 tasting stops, live music, local art, and themed Taste Hubs throughout downtown, there's something to discover around every corner.

 

Your ticket includes a souvenir tasting cup, spork, and event map.

 

Explore downtown Oceanside on foot or hop on the free ‘Taste Trolley’ to taste and sip your way through Oceanside’s exciting food and brew scene. For those 21 and older, the food and beverage combo ticket offers the chance to sample sips from the community’s vibrant craft breweries and wineries at participating stores and offices.

 

With only 1,200 tickets available and the event selling out five years in a row, early ticket purchase is highly recommended.
