Where to park
- Free: Civic Center Parking Structure, 300 N Coast Hwy
- $5 all day: SALT garage, 371 N Cleveland St
- Free all day: 101 North Ditmar St
The Transit Center is a few blocks away, so the Coaster and Sprinter drop you at the market without parking at all.
What's there
Hot food from around the world, desserts and gourmet goods, crafts and retail, live music on the main stage, and Dorothy's KidZone for kids. Free to walk in, family-friendly, and a few blocks from the pier.
Booths are sold by application, so the vendor line-up changes week to week. OSIDE doesn't publish a booth list, only what the organizer announces.

Taste of Oceanside
MainStreet Oceanside's other big one: roughly 70 tasting stops inside downtown restaurants, breweries, wineries and cafés, with live music, local art, themed Taste Hubs and a free trolley between them. Tickets run $60 for food and non-alcoholic drinks, $80 with beverages, and $115 for VIP First Taste with an early hour. It sells out every year.
