The core of the Santa Barbara Solstice Celebration begins with the community arts Workshop, opening in early May and continuing through July 1st. It hosts a diverse cross-section of the Santa Barbara community working side-by-side on their magical creations, and features a special Children's Area designed to encourage kids and their parents to participate in artistic expression and creativity. People from all economic groups, able-bodied to disabled, all derive joy in this communal project.

As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, the Santa Barbara Summer Solstice Celebration depends on the community to help fund the largest creative arts event in Santa Barbara. All Solstice Celebration participants must register as part of the Workshop and/or Parade. Registration fees help to pay for the cost of materials. There are a limited number of scholarships available.

Materials are needed for this year's Workshop! To make a material supplies donation, please contact Claudia Bratton, Executive Director, soladmin@solsticeparade.com or (805) 965-3396.
