Presented by Genentech and Tri-City Medical Center, Oceanside Harbor Days was held September 21 and 22, featuring over 200 arts and craft exhibits, a food court, costumed pirates and mermaids, and a beer garden sponsored by the Prohibition Brewing Company. Attendees enjoyed various competitions from the Fishing Derby to the Tiki Swim, Pirate costume contest, and the “Nail and Sail” contest. The Navy helped to open the event by landing the LCAC hovercraft from ACU-5 on the Harbor Beach early Saturday morning. The Oceanside Police Department and Fire Department had vehicles on display and the OPD Canine Unit did demonstrations to impress the crowds. New this year, OPD added a Pirate and Sunken Treasure Rescue in the Harbor. Crowds gathered to watch a pirate rescued from his “burning” boat, and then an OPD dive team help recover his lost treasure. Oceanside Harbor Days will be held September 19 and 20th in 2020!
