Fresh & fruity, hot & smoky, sweet & spicy – dozens of different flavors of salsa are available for sampling and buying at the Oxnard Salsa Festival.

		In the Salsa Tasting Tent, salsa purveyors and restaurants dish up samples of their spicy concoctions – from mild to wild – all weekend long! Salsa tasting ($3) includes a bag of Mission Foods tortilla chips and ten tasting tickets. If you're a salsa manufacturer or a local restaurant interested in serving salsa samples in the tent, please contact the Festival office at (805) 247-0197 or send an email.
