2025 Press Releases

June 26, 2025 - Oxnard Salsa Festival Postponed Until 2026

The Board of Directors of the Oxnard Downtowners has announced a temporary pause for the annual Oxnard Salsa Festival. Launched in 1993, the Oxnard Salsa Festival has brought music, dance, food, and community spirit to downtown Oxnard for over 30 years. Thanks to the dedication of a hardworking volunteer team, the event has become a beloved summer tradition. As the festival continues to evolve, the board has made the decision to take a break in 2025 to reimagine and refresh the experience for a vibrant relaunch in 2026.
