Summer Solstice ~ one of Santa Barbara's most beloved traditions...
...where the imaginary comes to life, and the impossible is real - for an afternoon...
...residents and visitors join in the fun...
...we celebrate with a pagan joy, and welcome the summer season....
...there is no other celebration like it - anywhere...
...make plans now to join us for Summer Solstice in June 2012...







santa-barbara-summer-solstice - the birthday celebration started in 1974. The colorful parade is the largest single day event in the country. THis day the whole country comes alive by various street fairs, live performances and concerts,music and dances on roads.
