General information about the Sunset Market:

The Sunset Market is staged every Thursday evening on four blocks in downtown Oceanside. The market is set up on Pier View Way west of Coast Highway and on North Tremont Street north of Mission Avenue. The market consists of approximately 180 vendor spaces in various categories including a certified farmers market, hot prepared foods, prepackaged foods, merchandise and crafts, non-profit and civic organizations and commercial vendors. The market is held every week except Thanksgiving week and may be cancelled occasionally due to weather conditions.

Successful vendors must have the capacity to set up at the market regularly every week. Retail/Crafts/Artisan vendors are asked to reserve and pre-pay for their space on a monthly basis. All vendors are selected by the Sunset Market Committee using such criteria as type of merchandise offered, duplication of other vendors' offerings, presentation of merchandise and booth appeal (signage, table coverings, fixtures, condition of canopy, etc.). We suggest that all applicants visit the market prior to submitting an application. Our Sunset Market staff is always available for consultation to assist you with your application.
