Will go from one weekend to month long event
The unique sights, and sounds brightened the streets of Santa Barbara one Saturday every June for decades.
If you ve never seen Santa Barbara’s Summer Solstice Parade, it’s sort of what would happen if you took a bunch of artists, teamed them up with hundreds of volunteers, and let them create a wild Mardi Gras style parade.
But, for the second year in a row due to the pandemic, we won’t see the colorful floats, and hundreds of costumed participants dancing, or walking their way up State Street. Last year, the celebration had to be a virtual one. This year, it will also be virtual, but much more elaborate.
