Oxnard Salsa Festival

Recurring Event

The Oxnard Salsa Festival is back after a five-year hiatus when it kicks off the weekend of July 27-28 in Plaza Park in Downtown Oxnard. Both Saturday and Sunday will be filled with a stellar lineup of live music, with the festival presenting the best and most popular local salsa bands from Southern California.
In addition to the air being filled with the irresistible rhythmic sounds of Salsa music while cooled by coastal breezes, the festival offers delicious Latin food, refreshing beverages, and an eclectic selection of craft and retail vendors. A highlight of the Oxnard Salsa Festival is the Salsa Tasting Tent where festivalgoers can sample a selection spicy Salsa while sipping margaritas and beer.
The Oxnard Salsa Festival premiered in 1993 and is presented by the Oxnard Downtowners. It features the region’s top salsa and Latin Jazz bands, marketplace shopping, two international food courts, a salsa tasting tent and non-stop salsa dancing. The event is family-friendly and includes a play zone with rides, jumpers, face painters and other fun activities for kids. The festival takes place in coastal Oxnard, the largest city in Ventura County, and situated along scenic Pacific Coast Highway. Downtown Oxnard enjoys year-round Mediterranean weather and is just five minutes away from Channel Islands Harbor and Mandalay Beach. Plaza Park, the festival’s location, is within the Henry T. Oxnard National Historic District -- home to City Hall, the Oxnard Transit Center and Heritage Square, a block of beautifully restored early 1900’s homes and buildings.
