Boris Alves

Boris Alves joined the Old Spanish Days Board as an Associate Director in 2024. Boris is of Brazilian descent and a Santa Barbara local since 1996, and joined Old Spanish Days because it connects him to the Latino culture and celebrates our local community values. He has been engaged in many volunteering activities in prior Fiesta years, from decorating floats to assembling the stage for La Fiesta Pequeña. When he is not enjoying Fiesta, he is enjoying the Santa Barbara backcountry and Channel Islands with his wife and chocolate Labrador.
