Block Party Saturday, June 14
Juneteenth Santa Barbara welcomes the community to the eighth annual Juneteenth celebration in South Santa Barbara County!
Bring a lawn chair, blankets, and the family to enjoy a free celebration on Saturday, June 14, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., at Plaza Del Mar/Band Shell Park at Castillo Street and Cabrillo/Shoreline Streets. Come stay a while and enjoy the day!
The celebration includes local live performances, the return of the Black Artisan Market, the Indy Parenting kids zone with 805 Body Art face painting, the Santa Barbara Public Library on the Go Van, and so much more! This year’s theme invokes the emotion of hope, one that finds strength in community gathering together to celebrate freedom. Juneteenth SB has partnered with Leticia Resch for event logistics to plan a safe, fun, and successful event.

At the June 17 Goleta City Council meeting, the City will proclaim June 19th as “Juneteenth” in Goleta and encourage all residents to use this time to learn about the legacy of Black peoples, their contributions, and stand in an alliance to end racism and hate. The proclamation is available here.
