Downtown is alive with the charm of “Old Town Oxnard” and the energy of a modern urban center. It’s home to a vibrant cultural arts scene anchored by the Carnegie Art Museum, Heritage Square, Historic Plaza Park and Plaza Stadium Cinemas.

If you’re hungry, there are more than 40 places to get great, authentic Mexican, American, Mediterranean, Asian food and more. And if you seek to shop, it’s all about the thrill of the hunt offered by a collection of cool indie retailers.

Family-friendly events, including a weekly Farmers Market, First Thursdays, outdoor concerts, festivals, and holiday celebrations are happening year round. The “Heart of the City” invites you to experience the real Oxnard!
