If you love live music, great weather, and charming seaside views, there’s no better summer activity in Ventura County than the free Concerts by the Sea Summer Concert Series at Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard. (Before we go any further, we’d like to thank the event co-sponsors – the Channel Islands Harbor Foundation and Suntex Marinas!)

Set in the heart of Harbor View Park, this beloved community tradition offers the perfect blend of music, ocean breeze, and family-friendly fun. Held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. every Saturday from July 11 to September 5, 2026, the park comes alive with the sounds of talented local and regional bands. With genres ranging from Funk and Classic Rock to Country and Blues, each performance promises a little something for everyone’s playlist.

Located off Harbor Boulevard just south of Marine Emporium Landing (3600 Harbor Blvd., Oxnard, CA 93035), Harbor View Park offers plenty of green space and unbeatable views of the harbor, making it the ideal backdrop for an afternoon of live entertainment.

What to Bring:

Pack your picnic baskets, grab a blanket or some lawn chairs, and bring the whole family for a relaxing afternoon outdoors. Whether you’re dancing near the stage or lounging with snacks under the sun, the Concerts by the Sea series is a great way to connect with the community and savor the joys of summer.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Live music every weekend with a new band each week
• Free admission in a great coastal location
• Family-friendly with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy
• Easy access to nearby restaurants, shops, and harbor attractions

Whether you’re a long-time local or just visiting for the weekend, these concerts are a can’t-miss part of summer at the Channel Islands Harbor. Mark your calendars, invite your friends, and let the music move you by the sea.
