The Santa Barbara Summer Solstice Celebration parade and festival went ahead in 2022 for an amazing come-back year.!

​

The theme for the 2023 parade and festival is ROOTS

 

​The 49th annual Solstice Parade will begin at Noon on June 24th at the intersection of Ortega and Santa Barbara Streets. The parade will travel on Santa Barbara Street and end at the Solstice Festival at Alameda park. (Sola Street). 

 

Parade spectators can expect to enjoy a different view of Santa Barbara, with the beautiful mountains in the background.  Along this route we have the Santa Barbara Courthouse, the SB Historical Museum and the Presidio, all steeped in the history of our community. We can't imagine a better place to renew our spirit, come together as a community and to SHINE.

 

The Solstice Workshop will open to the public on May 1 at the Community Arts Workshop (CAW) at 631 Garden Street.. The Solstice Festival will take place in Alameda Park, Friday June 23 4pm- 9pm - Saturday & June 24th, 12 - 8pm, and Sunday Noon to 6 pm.
