In a world where the holiday months are often plagued with snow and gloom, a vibrant and sunny city like Santa Barbara (with its blue skies, temperate weather, and ocean views) is such a breath of fresh air. Enjoy the reduced crowds when visiting popular tourist sites, such as our miles of breathtaking gorgeous sandy beaches. See the golden cliffs, go biking, take a whale-watching tour, and eat your heart out on the finest of seafood! Santa Barbara is the place to be when the holidays roll around this year.
Ride the Santa Barbara Trolley and see the sights of the city! If you ride at night, you'll get to enjoy the magic of the lights and carols as you sip hot cider together.

Either way, you'll get to enjoy the European-style Santa Barbara Night Market while you're in town. This market is only open for 5 weeks starting on Black Friday, and during its run, you'll see culture and crafts and art galore, plus live entertainment and delicious food and craft beer!
