Running since 1974, the Santa Barbara Summer Solstice Celebration draws over 100,000 spectators and is the largest event in Santa Barbara County. The celebration has evolved from street artists into a festival with over 1,000 parade participants, extravagant floats, and choreographed dancing ensembles. Held in downtown Santa Barbara and Alameda Park each June, the festival offers musical performances, food vendors, and merchant vendors. A selection committee determines vendor eligibility based on quality, diversity, presentation, and originality. The event actively seeks food vendors, especially those using sustainable packaging. Arts & Crafts vendors must sell products solely made by the artists.
