This past weekend, Oceanside residents and visitors celebrated the return of the beloved St. Anthony’s Feast, which drew thousands of attendees over its four-day span from June 8 to June 11. The highlight of the event was the annual St. Anthony’s Feast 5K run, which saw record participation and community engagement.

St. Anthony’s Feast has long been a staple of the Oceanside community, and this year was no exception. The Feast offered a blend of homemade food, live entertainment, and family-friendly activities.

The 5K Family Fun Run/Walk, held on the morning of June 8, was a standout success. The event, which started as a special initiative for the Feast’s 50th anniversary in 2019, has grown significantly each year.

Participants ranged from serious runners aiming for their personal bests to families and individuals looking to enjoy a leisurely walk. The race course began at St. Anthony’s parish on Anchor Ave, winding through several local streets before looping back to the starting point.
