Pride By The Beach (Oceanside Pride)

Pride By The Beach is North County San Diego's Pride festival, held in downtown Oceanside's Cultural District, around the Civic Center, on the first Saturday of June. It's free, family-friendly and alcohol- and tobacco-free, runs from noon to 6pm with two stages, and is organised by the North County LGBTQ Resource Center, which says it draws more than 20,000 people.

The 2025 festival was on Saturday 7 June. The 19th edition, themed "The Fabric of Community", was on Saturday 6 June 2026.

The organiser had not announced the 2027 date at the time of writing. If it keeps to the first Saturday of June, that would be 5 June 2027, but treat that as an estimate and check pridebythebeach.org before you book. Downtown hotels near the pier fill up for the weekend.
