Oceanside, Calif. — Aug. 2, 2021: Downtown Oceanside’s premier culinary experience is back! MainStreet Oceanside presents the Seventh Annual Taste of Oceanside on Saturday, Oct. 2, from 2-5 p.m. Come taste your way through Oceanside’s exciting food and brew scene — one bite and sip at a time.
Attendees can walk or ride their bikes to each participating venue — or take a double-decker bus — to sample local handcrafted cuisine and, optionally, beverages by the restaurants, brewers and wineries that have made Oceanside one of the leading foodie destinations in North County San Diego. Along the way, tasters will have the chance to explore Downtown restaurants and retail businesses while enjoying musical performances throughout the district.
On sale today, tickets are limited for this rain-or-shine event, which sold out in 2019. Available at www.tasteofoceanside.com and the MainStreet Oceanside office, 701 Mission Ave., advance food tasting tickets are $45, and food and beverage tasting combo tickets, $60, for attendees who are 21 and over. If any tickets remain the day of, they can be purchased for $50 and $70 at the attendee check-in booth at Civic Center Plaza, 300 N. Coast Highway. On Friday, Oct. 1, the Taste of Oceanside VIP Party will also be returning from 5-8 p.m. VIP tickets, which include a Taste of Oceanside combo ticket, are $125.
A portion of proceeds from every ticket sold will be donated to the North County Food Bank. Based in San Marcos, the North County Food Bank provides food assistance to working-poor families, fixed-income seniors, low-income military families and children living in poverty in communities throughout North County.
Taste of Oceanside will continue to promote zero waste in Oceanside by giving a commemorative spork and reusable tasting cup to each attendee. Provided by event sponsor Green Oceanside, the commemorative Taste of Oceanside spork and branded cup will eliminate the addition of over 20,000 plastic items to the landfill.
MainStreet would like to thank event sponsors Green Oceanside, City of Oceanside, Frontwave Credit Union and Oceanside Adventures for their support.
