Vista is home to two city-owned theaters: the Moonlight Amphitheatre and the Avo Playhouse. The Moonlight Amphitheatre, located in Brengle Terrace Park, is an open-air theater that specializes in musical productions, performing several musicals during the course of the summer. During the winter, the stage is used as a concert venue called ClubM which hosts both performers and audience members alike on the stage itself. Moonlight Productions performs plays in winter months at the Avo Playhouse, a former movie theater now owned by the city.

Several popular downtown events include the North County St. Patrick's Day Parade & Festival, the Vista Strawberry Festival, the Vista Rod Run and the annual Winterfest & Christmas Parade.

Two of the best-known parks in the city are Brengle Terrace Park and Guajome County Park. Brengle Terrace Park houses the Moonlight Amphitheatre, [[Alta Vista Gardens]] (a city-owned [[botanical garden]]), two softball fields, a senior center, a playground, and the city community center, where the main offices of the city's day camps are held. Guajome County Park has {{convert|557|acre|km2}} of land, which is shared between Vista and nearby Oceanside. It features a small lake, willow and oak woodlands, campsites, [[horse]] trails, and [[Rancho Guajome Adobe]], a [[National Historic Landmark]].

The Rancho Guajome Adobe and Rancho Buena Vista Adobe are two historic rancho buildings in Vista, built in the mid-nineteenth century, both available for tours and special occasions. Rancho Buena Vista Adobe is owned and operated by the city government, while Rancho Guajome Adobe (and Guajome Park itself) are owned by the county. Adjacent to Guajome Park is the [[Antique Gas and Steam Engine Museum]], an open-air museum demonstrating agricultural equipment from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Other recreation facilities include the city-run Wave Waterpark, a sports park, and a [[Boomers! Parks|Boomers]] location.
