Event Calendar Submissions

The Oceanside Event Calendar is one of the most viewed pages on the Visit Oceanside Conference and Visitors Bureau website.  Potential visitors and locals alike use this event calendar as a resource to stay aware of the special events and activities that happen in Oceanside, CA. Some travelers are looking for current dates for their favorite annual event, while others are seeking new experiences for their upcoming vacation. We are always interested in learning about new events and celebrations that will enhance the visitor experience. 

This service is complimentary to community partners to feature an event on the event calendar.

The following list outlines the general preferences that Visit Oceanside is looking for with event submissions. This is just a guideline. Should you have any questions about submitting an event or what type of event is preferred for the Oceanside Event Calendar, please contact events@visitoceanside.org.

What if my event information has changed?

If you submit an event and your event is later changed or cancelled, please contact Visit Oceanside immediately so that we can update the calendar. 

Please send an email with your changes to Visit Oceanside Marketing Coordinator, Tanner Yates tanner@visitoceanside.org

Will my event appear immediately on the calendar?

No, your event will not immediately appear on the calendar after it has been submitted.

A member of the Visit Oceanside team reviews and approves each event before it will be added to the live calendar. Please allow 3-5 business days for event review and approval.
