We're hosting an incredible fireworks and drone display on Thursday, July 3, 2025, in celebration of Independence Day and Oceanside's 137th birthday (July 3, 1888). The fireworks and drone display will begin at 9PM in the heart of Oceanside at the SoCal Soccer Complex at El Corazon. Gates to the event open at 4:00 p.m. and there will be family-friendly activities, music, and food trucks.  

Calling all Oceanside kids from 5-17: Join us on Saturday, July 5 from 9 a.m. to noon for the Mission 55 Semper Seau Legacy Camp! This FREE high-energy football camp is all about building skills, confidence, and community. Participants will receive top-tier coaching focused on fundamentals and competitive drills — all in a supportive environment. This camp is proudly hosted in honor of Oceanside’s own, the legendary Junior Seau — a symbol of heart, hustle, and hometown pride. The registration is capped at 350 participants to ensure a focused and high-quality experience.
