The 44th annual Santa Barbara Summer Solstice Celebration starts Friday, and continues throughout the weekend at Alameda Park. Saturday's parade up State Street is the largest single day event in Santa Barbara County. It's been a tough year for the Santa Barbara community, and this year's parade may be a welcome celebration. 

To learn more about the Santa Barbara Summer Solstice Parade, check out their website at solsticeparade.com. 

The Arts Beat is made possible by a grant from the Community Foundation of San Luis Obispo County.
