A Message from the Board
As we emerge from almost three years of COVID restrictions, Old Spanish Days in Santa Barbara, Inc. is committed to returning to Fiesta events as we knew them before the pandemic, while putting the health and the safety of our community first. We continue to work with the City of Santa Barbara in areas such as parade route planning and venue locations. The schedule and nature of Fiesta events as presented here are to the best of our knowledge but are subject to change due to uncertainties that are beyond our control.
