About Ventura County Local
Everything happening in Ventura County, in one place.
Ventura County Local is an independent guide to what's happening across the county — from concerts at the Ventura Theater to harbor festivals in Oxnard, hiking days in Ojai, farmer's markets in Thousand Oaks, and the Friday night neighborhood things you'd only hear about word-of-mouth. The site aggregates events from dozens of local sources, hand-picks the best, and publishes a weekly digest every Thursday.
Alongside events, we maintain a directory of 1,750 local businesses, a blog covering Ventura County neighborhoods and real estate, and seasonal guides for things like Mother's Day brunch, holiday lights, and birthday freebies. Everything's free to use, free to submit, and updated continuously.
