One of the best things about staying at North Coast Village is having the beach, Oceanside Harbor and Downtown Oceanside close to your vacation rental. On Thursdays, guests can enjoy two popular local markets in one day—the Oceanside Morning Farmers Market and the Oceanside Sunset Market.
Begin at the Oceanside Farmers Market
The Oceanside Morning Farmers Market takes place every Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the corner of Pier View Way and North Coast Highway.
Visitors can shop for fresh produce, flowers, artisan baked goods, local honey, salsa, olive oil and other gourmet products. It is a relaxing way to begin the day before returning to North Coast Village for an afternoon at the beach or pool.
Spend Thursday Evening at the Sunset Market
The family-friendly Oceanside Sunset Market is held Thursday evenings from 5 to 9 p.m. along Pier View Way in Downtown Oceanside.
The market features international food vendors, live entertainment, arts and crafts, local products and a children’s activity area. You can sample several different foods, listen to live music and browse for a souvenir—all during one evening downtown.
Special Event Update
On Thursday, July 30, 2026, the market will celebrate Fuji, Oceanside’s sister city. Phil N the Blanks is also scheduled to perform on the Main Stage.
