Christmas in Oxnard is the best! I love hopping on the double-decker holly trolley with a cup of hot cocoa to see all the lights on Christmas Tree Lane. Plus, we have the tallest Christmas tree in Ventura County!

I love making family memories on Silver Strand beach. I am also a long time Dallas Cowboys' fan so Training Camp is one of Oxnard’s annual events that I look forward to the most.

Oxnard is my hometown, and I am so grateful to share it with all of you. I love keeping it local from catching a beach sunset after work to eating some of the best tacos at our local restaurants. Happy to call Oxnard home!

I love Oxnard’s gorgeous, uncrowded beaches, and the great selection of Mexican restaurants and taquerias we have out here just can’t be beat!

Moving to Oxnard in 2020 was the best decision. On weekends, I enjoy starting the day with a sunrise walk along the beach to visit the sunken ship La Jenelle – it never gets old. I’m truly grateful to call Oxnard my home, my little Shangri-La.

Award-Winning Team

Each team member is provided a level of trust which motivates the team to do their best. Coming to work each day is a joy for this award-winning group of tourism professionals.
