Chef Lisa Rivera, Chef de Cuisine of The Victorian at Hill Street, is a contestant on Season 24 of "Hell’s Kitchen – Battle of the States," representing California with her culinary talent, creativity and hometown pride. To celebrate this milestone, The Victorian is hosting a special "Hell’s Kitchen Viewing Party" on Thursday, September 25 at 7 p.m. Gather with friends, neighbors and food lovers to cheer on Chef Lisa as she showcases Oceanside’s spirit on one of television’s most iconic culinary competitions.

Housed in one of the city’s last remaining Queen Anne homes (est. 1888), The Victorian blends old-world charm with a vibrant, modern dining experience. Here, California’s agricultural bounty shines through seasonal, shareable plates inspired by Mediterranean and Latin flavors. Pair it with curated wines or creative cocktails and you’ll find bold flavors at approachable prices in one of the most romantic, community-forward spaces in North County. From its candlelit courtyard dinners to its locally sourced ingredients and female-led vision, The Victorian is where Oceanside gathers—whether for date nights, girls’ nights, or community celebrations like this one. Why This Event Matters Chef Lisa Rivera isn’t just competing for California—she’s carrying Oceanside with her. This event is a chance for locals and visitors alike to rally behind one of our own, celebrating how Oceanside talent is making waves on a national stage.

The Haunted Trail of Balboa Park returns for 2025—with two haunts in one: the 3,500 square foot eXperiment Maze and the mile-long Haunted Trail winding through the twisted pines and gnarled oaks of historic Marston Point. Named in CNN’s Top 5 BEST Haunted Attractions in America, and one of the “Top 3 Halloween Destinations in the U.S.” by America Haunts. The nightmare begins inside the eXperiment Maze—a sensory trap of warped illusions, cult-favorite legends, and viral nightmares coming to life. Evade the stalking silence of Slenderman before descending into the obsessive chaos of “HELLno Kitty”, a deranged tribute to everyone’s favorite feline. Spin through the Vortex Tunnel and face-off against the most Terrifying clown and his pale side kick. Then slip into the Haunted Trail through a cursed portal with no choice but to run towards the terror. Feel your way through the fog drenched Graveyard, claw through Freddy’s School Bus, stumble into post-apocalyptic Nuke Town and try to outrun the “Sisters of the SAW” in their blood soaked cathedral. The mayhem doesn’t stop after the chainsaws! Visit DARK CARNIVAL, an all new scare zone with roaming monsters, games, photo ops, an expanded BOOtique Gift Shop, and bites from local food trucks. The Haunted Trail of Balboa Park, morphing annually, reinventing fear for 26 years. Please Note: Check out the 2025 Hours of Operation for the exact days and hours of operation.
