Want to be part of the Summer Solstice Parade?

Come down to the Solstice Workshop on the corner of Garden and Ortega Streets to learn how you can be in the 51st Summer Solstice Parade! 

This special workshop is open just 6 weeks out of the year and it is where all the magic of the Parade happens. There are prop and mask designers, professional costume makers, construction helpers, as well as all the paint, tools, fabric and positivity you could need to make your own ensemble or float for the parade. 

You can come with an idea for a float, an ensemble performance, or wanting to join a existing group.  If you’re a little shy, its ok, you can still come and be part of the making of the Parade, learn how to make masks, costumes and build floats, be creative! It’s not about being talented. It’s about having fun!

The Santa Barbara Solstice Celebration begins with the Community Arts Workshop. 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.

All participants must register as part of the Workshop and/or Parade.
