Talk: Fiestas, Festivals and Parades- Santa Barbara Celebrates
September 20, 2018 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
In conjunction with our exhibit Project Fiesta, Historian Neal Graffy will talk about how Santa Barbara loves to celebrate. From the 1820 dedication of Mission Santa Barbara to the Flower Festivals (1890s) and the Great White Fleet (1908), our city had quite a lot of practice by the first Old Spanish Days in 1924.
Special thanks to John Woodward & Old Spanish Days.
