Come see floats, bands, walking groups, cool cars, and more. Our theme this year is "CELEBRATING OUR HERITAGE." A local tradition since 1892, the Oceanside Independence Parade is made possible by the assistance of over 100 volunteers. Viewing of the parade is available from the sidewalks along the entire route. Spectators are encouraged to bring folding chairs. The highest concentration of viewers will be on the north end of the route past Seagaze Drive. Parking Street parking is available on the residential side streets that run parallel to the entire route (Freeman and Tremont Streets). Over 1,000 parking spaces are available in the downtown parking lots and the parking structure (to enter the downtown area from the East, you will have to cross Coast Highway at Oceanside Blvd. or Surfrider Way). Parking time limits may be enforced for street parking and parking lots - watch for the signs. Visit: https://visitoceanside.org/events/oceanside-independence-parade/
