  • What: OTG sponsors a booth at this FREE event hosted by the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce. Thousands of active duty military and their family members are treated to a day of free food, carnival rides, and live entertainment from local bands. There is a children’s fun zone with carnival rides, inflatable jumps, rock climbing wall, kid’s crafts, face painting, and visits from local characters like Shamu and Padre Pad Squad.

North county residents made their way to the Oceanside pier for the annual commemoration, Operation Appreciation. This event is held each year to commemorate those who have served in the military with fun, festivities, and local vendors.

Oceanside Therapy Group works with many military families and enjoys the opportunity to represent therapy services locally here in North County. Operation Appreciation is a great way for us to present these resources to our community and to show our support for our military. Each year, OTG staff members are available to answer questions and give families more information about the services we provide. It’s a great thing to see the community get together in honor of our military and to show our patriotism and support.
