Join us on Saturday, June 28, 2025, for the 29th annual Independence Parade as it makes its way north on Coast Highway from Wisconsin Avenue to Civic Center Drive (just past City Hall). The parade starts in front of the 101 Cafe (Coast Highway at Wisconsin Avenue) at 10:00 a.m. and works its way north with the first unit of the parade reaching City Hall around 10:15 a.m. The running time from beginning to end is about two hours. The City of Oceanside will host an incredible fireworks display at SoCal Soccer Complex at El Corazon in celebration of Oceanside’s 136th anniversary of the City’s incorporation. Fireworks will begin at 9:00 p.m. There will be food available onsite beginning at 5:30 p.m. This year’s event will feature live entertainment, a family fun zone with inflatables, a picnic area, and food vendors.
