"Art Walk"
Santa Barbara Arts & Crafts Show
"Art Walk" — Santa Barbara's weekly Arts & Crafts Show — takes place every Sunday, year-round along the beautiful beachfront of downtown Santa Barbara.  During our last visit to the city, we just happened to arrive on a warm Sunday afternoon — it was great timing.

Local artists first established "Art Walk" in 1965. Today, more than 40 years later, this FUN weekly event draws hundreds of art lovers, tourists and locals alike. It's a wonderful way to spend a few hours, browsing the stalls and meeting the artists — especially on a nice sunny day.

Over 250 local resident artists display their original works of art— an eclectic selection of jewelry, drawing, paintings, sculpture, photography and unique gift items. Bet you won't go home empty-handed.

" Art Walk" runs along Cabrillo Blvd east from State Street and Stearns Wharf in downtown Santa Barbara. (If you're staying at the Fess Parker DoubleTree Resort, it's just across the street.)

After strolling along "Art Walk," we ventured out to the tip of Stearns Wharf — it's about a two-mile walk from the beginning of "Art Walk" to the end of the Wharf. It's great exercise and lets you work up an appetite for all those fabulous Santa Barbara waterfront restaurants.
