OxnardOxnard Police Department’s 11th Annual “Spooktacular” Trunk or Treat Event
Oxnard families, mark your calendars! The Oxnard Police Department is bringing back its beloved "Spooktacular" Trunk or Treat for the 11th year, and it's all happening Thursday, October 22, 2026, from 5 to 7 p.m. The streets around the police station at 251 South "C" Street will transform into a safe, festive trick-or-treat zone—so expect some nearby road closures starting earlier that day. What makes this event so special is how it turns our local first responders into neighbors, handing out candy and smiles instead of tickets. It's a chance for kids to dress up, for families to connect, and for the community to see the folks behind the badge in a whole new light. Over the years, this tradition has become a highlight of Oxnard's fall season, and it's no wonder—free, safe fun for the little ones is always a win. Big thanks to the Oxnard PD for keeping this tradition alive. For all the details, check out the original announcement in the Vida Newspaper. See you there, Oxnard—costumes encouraged!
OxnardTé con Limon: Hispanic Heritage Celebration
Ventura County wrapped up Hispanic Heritage Month with a heartfelt gathering at the Ventura County Museum this past Wednesday, hosted by Senate President Pro Tempore Monique Limón. It was a chance to honor the Latino neighbors, families, and leaders who shape so much of life here in the 805 — from our farmworkers and small business owners to our teachers, artists, and public servants. Our region's Latino roots run deep, and celebrations like Té con Limón remind us that heritage isn't just history — it's the everyday fabric of Oxnard and the surrounding communities. Vida Newspaper, which covers stories like this one, has long been a voice for that community. If you missed it, keep an eye out for next year's events. Better yet, carry that spirit forward — support a local Latino-owned business, share a story, or just take a moment to appreciate the culture that makes the 805 feel like home.
OxnardElection Forum for Oxnard District 1
Oxnard neighbors, if you live in District 1, your City Council race just got a lot more interesting. Incumbent Bert Perello and challenger John Barrick — an assistant district attorney for Ventura County — went head-to-head at an Oct. 7 forum, and it sounds like they didn't exactly exchange holiday cards. Perello leaned on his record; Barrick poked holes in it. This is the kind of local politics that actually shapes your street — sidewalks, safety, housing, how your neighborhood gets heard at City Hall. Vida Newspaper covered the forum, and we're glad they did, because these down-ballot races often fly under the radar until it's too late to pay attention. So do yourself a favor: read up, show up, and vote informed. District 1's future is on the line, and it's your call to make.
