Santa Barbara really knows how to throw a sunshine party. ☀️

The 51st Summer Solstice Celebration brought color, music, dancing, local bites, vendors, and pure summer joy to Alameda Park.

Friday kicked things off with a festival party full of local bands, good food, and longest-day-of-the-year energy.

Then Saturday’s parade turned Santa Barbara Street into a moving burst of creativity, starting at Santa Barbara and Ortega Streets.
