Each month Santa Barbara's calendar of events is bursting with festivals like Old Spanish Days and the International Film Festival or cultural events at any one of the many gorgeous theaters.

Each small neighborhood of Santa Barbara brings it’s own unique flavor to this bustling city with their distinctive histories, architectures, and cultures. From The Mesa with its beach vibe, to Mission Canyon with its gorgeous hiking trails and historical Mission, to the Riviera with its winding streets and intricate stone work terracing built by early 20th-century Italian immigrants, to family friendly San Roque where they really know how to celebrate Halloween, to Samarkand which is “the land of heart’s desire,” there is a neighborhood for everyone. The Eastside and The Westside are two neighborhoods each with their own distinct flavors and divided by the famous State Street that runs right through the city. The Downtown area is divided into the Funk Zone which is full of boutique wineries, foodie hang-outs and galleries, and the main shopping strip further north on State Street. The Waterfront area includes Sterns Wharf, the harbor, the Santa Barbara Zoo and many fine tourist accommodations.
