A Santa Barbara Tradition

FiestaComes Home to Paseo Nuevo

Each summer, Old Spanish Days fills State Street with color, rhythm and celebration, and Paseo Nuevo sits right at the heart of it. Join us for five vibrant days of flamenco, folklorico and fusion dance performed live in Center Court.

Enjoy live music, delicious eats and more, all set against the tiled courtyards and archways of downtown Santa Barbara.
