Join us for an enchanting candlelit evening of history, culture, and community at El Presidio de Santa Bárbara State Historic Park. Presidio by Candlelight is a rare opportunity to experience the Presidio after dark. Listen to Chumash stories by an open fire, visit our Nihonmachi Revisited exhibit about Santa Barbara’s Japantown, enjoy music and dances from 1800s California, and more — all while enjoying free champurrado and freshly-baked goods. This is a free, 1st Thursday event.  

  

Complimentary wine will be served to SBTHP members from 5-6:30pm in the Presidio Orchard.
