Things to do in Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara is a beautiful, eclectic city in the heart of California. A coastal city with Mediterranean White Stucco buildings accenting its downtown, Santa Barbara was incorporated into California territory in 1850. Residents and visitors alike can enjoy upscale boutiques and restaurants that offer local wines and seasonal fare.
While there is evidence of human settlements dating back 13,000 years, this city was a former Spanish colony, with a focus on converting Indigenous peoples in that area to Christianity. Santa Barbara continued to be in the middle of a territory grab until California's incorporation into the union. The real modern boom of this city occurred after World War II when many servicemen decided to stay in this incredible city.
Santa Barbara has many cultural and art centers throughout the town. Considered a haven for classical music lovers, Santa Barbara has a symphony orchestra, a professional opera company, and many non-profit classical music groups such as the CAMAS. They also host the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, an annual musical festival held in the Arlington Theater, the largest indoor theater in Santa Barbara. There are many museums in this city as well! The Santa Barbara Museum of Art features nationally recognized collections of international importance. You can also visit the Museum of Contemporary Art of Santa Barbara, a nonprofit, non-collection museum dedicated to education, exhibition, and cultivation.
