My favorite time of year has arrived in Santa Barbara, Summer Solstice! The Santa Barbara Summer Solstice parade began in 1974, as a birthday celebration for a popular artist and mime, Michael Gonzalez. The parade grew into a gathering of over 100,000 spectators from around the world. The soiree originally had started at the Sunken Gardens and now has moved to Alameda Park. Come out and play this weekend. There will be over 75 different vendors, music and even a drum circle, for anyone who wants to participate.
