Santa Barbara celebrates its multicultural heritage with this annual eight day event, widely seen as the city's premier festival. Attendees learn about and witness the cultures that have been heavily involved in the history of Santa Barbara, including American Indian, Spanish, Mexican, and early American traditions. Offering something for just about everyone, the festival features a rodeo, outdoor market, and carnival. Be sure to attend the massive parade, featuring floats that tell the city's story and antique carriages, and various performances throughout the festival, including traditional music and dance. Many local non-profit groups are also present to raise awareness about issues facing the community.
