Oxnard Buddhist Temple hosts its 2026 Obon Festival on Saturday, July 11, 2026, 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., at 250 S H St, Oxnard. The official temple page lists free admission with food, dance, and music.

Practical planning

The festival shares the July 11 calendar with the Los Angeles Lotus Festival at Echo Park Lake, giving Ventura County readers a local Obon option without driving into central LA.

The Museum of Ventura County also hosts a free Introduction to Obon program on August 1, 2026, in partnership with the temple; check the museum site for registration details.

When: July 11, 2026 (1:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.)
Where: Oxnard Buddhist Temple, 250 S H St, Oxnard, CA 93030
