Celebrate Fiesta in Goleta! Fiesta Ranchera is Thursday, June 18 from 5:00 – 10:00 p.m. at the historic Rancho La Patera & Stow House (304 N. Los Carneros Road). This popular event is a collaboration between Old Spanish Days and the Goleta Valley Historical Society.

Enjoy performances by the 2026 Spirit of Fiesta Jenna Ramirez and Junior Spirit Penelope Hernandez, musical entertainment, and dancing under the stars to Area 51. You can also sample appetizers, wine, and beer from local restaurants, wineries and breweries. This is a 21 and older event. Tickets are limited and must be purchased in advance here. No tickets will be sold at the event.

Another way to celebrate Fiesta in Goleta is at the June 16 Goleta City Council meeting. The Council will issue a proclamation declaring June 18, 2026, as “Fiesta Ranchera Day” in the City of Goleta. Council will also give Certificates of Recognition to the Spirit and Junior Spirit of Fiesta and watch them perform. We hope you will join us in person in Council Chambers to see the performances. You can also watch on the City’s website, the City’s YouTube channel, or on Goleta TV Channel 19. Viva La Goleta!
