From the museum: Oceanside Unfiltered is a street photography exhibition showcasing local photographers. The selected photos showcase a candid and truly unfiltered view of Oceanside, focusing on places and individuals that often go unnoticed. The photographers featured come from various walks of life and have all called Oceanside home at one time or another. The images chosen are not your standard pier and sunset photos. They are gritty and reflect a side of Oceanside that the influx of tourists doesn’t see. They evoke emotion and may surprise you. This eye-opening exhibition is curated by notable Oceanside photographer, Zach Cordner. Cordner has been a resident of Oceanside for over twenty years. He has spent the time documenting Oceanside throughout its interesting evolution. This has given him crucial insight and access into unseen aspects of the city. Cordner has spent his career photographing some of the most recognizable celebrities, brands and magazines including Tony Hawk, Jimmy Kimmel, Capitol Records, Vans, The Hundreds and Rolling Stone magazine. Today, Cordner stays connected to the North County community through his work with The Osider and Encinitas Magazine, where he is co-founder and oversees all photography content. This exhibition highlights the work of some of Oceanside’s best photographers, including work from Cordner along with 2thabrain, Dominic Cooley, Sergio Garcia, Robby Gogatz, Trevor J, Charlie Neuman, Jens Ochlich, Brookes Reeder, Cameron Reeder, JT Rhoades, Edna Navarrete, Adam Ruzzamenti, David Stoddard, Jordan Verdin, and Andres Ximenez.

Summer Movies in the Park is the largest free and family-friendly outdoor movie series in San Diego County, with dozens of hosting sites and over a hundred screenings. It launched in 2007 as a ‘take back our parks’ initiative – in sync with the County’s Live Well vision to sustain safe, healthy and thriving communities. Shows run May through October, in neighborhoods from the beach to the desert, and everything in between. Each movie event gives residents a reason to visit their local parks after dark, deterring inappropriate loitering and park use, and bringing additional safety and security to residents’ favorite locales. Events begin as early as 5 p.m., though actual movie start times are 15 minutes after sunset. Before the movie, many locations provide additional entertainment like arts and crafts, games, costume contests, music, dancing and food trucks. FAQ: What should I bring? Plan to bring chairs or blankets for your comfort. Chairs are not provided at any of our events. Also, feel free to pack a picnic and enjoy your meal under the stars! Some locations will have food available, so check the Event Specifics section of each location and date for more details. Bring a sweater or light jacket – it will cool down once the sun sets. What if it rains? In the event of rain or high winds a movie may be canceled. If it rains on the day of the movie you’re planning to attend, please contact the Parks & Recreation office to get up-to-date information on possible cancellations. Contact information for each location is in the Event Specifics section of each scheduled movie. Can I bring my dog? Many parks allow dogs as long as they remain on leash. Rules are typically listed on community boards or kiosk signs – but you may also call to confirm. Always keep a close eye and clean up after your pet. Where can I park? Most locations have ample parking or quick access to public transportation. We encourage you to check the Event Specifics section of the movie you plan to attend to see if there are any specific notes on parking.
