Oceanside CA is a great place to live, visit, vacation, or stop by any time of year but we love the summer months because there are always fun things to do with the whole family. If you’re looking to stretch your dollars a little further this summer, here are some fun and free activities and events to participate in throughout O’side!
Oceanside Museum of Art
The Oceanside Museum of Art is an iconic building strategically located to offer a great view of the Pacific Ocean and the historical monument that is the Oceanside Pier. Oceanside Museum of Art — or OMA — is a fantastic place to visit because they always have something happening. Whether you want to attend their new exhibition opening, Free Family Art Days, their unique Art After Dark events, or you would just like to see the handmade pieces being sold in their Gift Shop, OMA is a must in the summer!

If you can’t make it during the day, head out to the Sunset Market, Oceanside’s weekly gathering from 5 pm to 9 pm.
