The much-anticipated 10th Annual Taste of Oceanside is back and better than ever! Taking place on October 4 & 5, 2024, this popular event celebrates a decade of incredible food, refreshing beverages, and live entertainment in the heart of downtown Oceanside. Hosted by MainStreet Oceanside, this event highlights the city’s vibrant culinary scene, drawing foodies from near and far.
Friday Night VIP Experience Kicking off the festivities is the exclusive Taste of Oceanside VIP Experience on Friday, October 4, from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Oceanside Museum of Art. Attendees will indulge in dishes prepared by four guest chefs, enjoy live music, and explore the museum’s galleries. The VIP combo ticket grants access to both Friday’s exclusive event and Saturday’s main culinary celebration.
Saturday’s Main Event On Saturday, October 5, the culinary adventure continues from 1:30 pm to 5:00 pm. Attendees can stroll through downtown Oceanside or hop on the free Taste Trolley to sample delicious food and drinks from the city’s top restaurants, breweries, and wineries. With only 1,000 tickets available and the event selling out in recent years, early ticket purchases are encouraged. Tickets range from $40 for food only to $75 for food and beverage tastings.
Supporting the Community A portion of the proceeds from every ticket sold will benefit Lived Experiences, a grassroots nonprofit supporting underserved families in Oceanside. This year, the event will continue its commitment to sustainability, providing each attendee with a commemorative spork and reusable tasting cup, thanks to Green Oceanside.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of this special milestone event! Mark your calendars, gather your friends, and prepare for a weekend of culinary delights that celebrates the best of Oceanside.
