Celebrate over a century of Old Spanish Days Fiesta in our community with our latest exhibition Project Fiesta: Santa Barbara News-Press Edition with tacos, cocktails, music, and dancing. The evening will include lively performances by the 2025 Spirit and Junior Spirit of Fiesta, Mariachi Alcala, latin jazz band Mezcal Martini and dancing with DJ Adam. Guests are encouraged to dress in festive Fiesta attire.
Our exhibition is dedicated in memory of our friend Erin Graffy de Garcia. Erin was a tireless advocate for preserving Santa Barbara’s incredible history, and most recently, our efforts to acquire the Santa Barbara News-Press archive.
