Armed Forces Day Operation Appreciation
For over fifteen years, Operation Appreciation has become an important tradition for the City of Oceanside and a unique event in Southern California. Held at Oceanside’s Junior Seau Pier Amphitheater and Beach Community Center from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Operation Appreciation brings the community together for a day-long celebration of music, food and family fun. All active–duty military and their military dependents are treated to a tasty complimentary lunch, live entertainment, a children’s area and fun zone with rides, games, crafts and face painting. This event is also free to the general public, with rides and food available for purchase. This event is presented by the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce, Genentech, Pacific Marine Credit Union, Wal-Mart and Chase Bank. Visit www.OceansideOperationAppreciation.com for more info
