Fiesta Days!

This week marks the 84th Old Spanish Days Fiesta!

"Old Spanish Days in Santa Barbara is dedicated to honoring and preserving Santa Barbara’s history, spirit, culture, heritage and traditions. This 84-year-old organization produces an annual eight day festival -- Fiesta -- that is widely regarded as Santa Barbara’s premier festival."

The festival is all about the history, customs, and traditions of the American Indian, Spanish, Mexican, and early American settlers that make up the rich cultural heritage of SB. I read that Fiesta has grown to become one of the five best regional festivals in the United States and Fiesta performers come from around the states and Mexico to participate!
