OXNARD — Vendor applications are now being accepted for the 25th Annual Oxnard Salsa Festival, July 28-29, at Plaza Park, Fifth and “B” Streets in downtown Oxnard. The festival celebrates everything salsa…the food, music and dance. An estimated 40,000 people attend the two-day event.
Festival organizers look for vendors who can provide quality, fun and interesting items. Over 100 merchants from around California come to the event each year offering an assortment of unique wares including fashions and jewelry, pottery, custom glassware, gourmet sauces, artwork and home décor. Local restaurants are also encouraged to provide samples of their best specialty salsas in the festival’s Salsa Tasting Tent.
Presented by the Oxnard Downtowners, the Oxnard Salsa Festival attracts festivalgoers from Santa Barbara to Orange County. Besides the vendor marketplace, it features top salsa and Latin jazz bands, non?stop salsa dancing (dance lessons too), a Kids Zone, international foods and a salsa recipe challenge.
