Coinciding with the Elements Sunken Gardens tasting is the French Festival, which occurs of Bastille Day weekend (July 12-13). This is the largest French celebration in western U.S.A. 2008 will be the 21st year that the festival will take place. The all day event will start at 11am and go until 7pm.
The official website for the celebration states:
While Parisians celebrate the French Revolution 8,000 miles away, Californians will revel in the sights, sounds, foods and joie de vivre of France at the largest French celebration in the Western United States.
This year’s Fête Française will feature dozens of chefs preparing fine French food…everything from crêpes to Cajun, from café au lait to decadent desserts and pastries. Enjoy French beer, wine, champagne and soft drinks.
This will be a fantastic weekend to be in Santa Barbara and take advantage of all of the unique cultural events right in the thick of summer. A great day to tour the town.
C’est Magnifique!
