The Magic of Santa Barbara Solstice Celebration Begins with Parade Workshop

“We’re really here to further creativity, to show people they can be creative and give them a context for that creativity,” said Riccardo Morrison, artistic director of the workshop.

Riccardo has been involved in the workshop for the past nine years and has been artistic director for the past six. But that’s not all he is. He can also be spotted dancing as the Monkey King in Saturday’s Summer Solstice Parade , which kicks off at noon beginning at Cota Street and continuing up State Street all the way to Micheltorena Street.

This year, Solstice festivities start Friday, having been extended to three days instead of two. The festival will open at 4 p.m. Friday at Alameda Park and run until 9 p.m., with an evening full of theatrical and musical entertainment, including performances by Randy Tico , a Santa Barbara musician, and some of the parade ensembles.

The annual parade of floats will begin at noon Saturday and conclude at Alameda Park about 1 p.m., with final entry usually about 2 p.m. The celebration will continue with live music and food and drink from local caterers and nonprofits; an arts and crafts boutique with more than 75 artisans and craftsmen; a large “drum circle” formed by parade participants and anyone who cares to join in the beat. The floats from the parade will be on display. A special children’s area will include a stage with storytellers, musicians and mimes.

Solstice festival hours Saturday and Sunday will be noon to 6 p.m., with free art projects, booths and entertainment.

On Sunday, live jazz entertainment will be performed on the main stage in Alameda Park from 1:30 to 6 p.m., as a community mural is created under the direction of artist Carlos Cuellar. People of all ages can help decorate the mural, which will be about 60 feet long.

All of the arts and crafts booths, food booths, and the beer and wine garden will be open all three days of the festival.

The workshop, though, is where the magic of this distinctly Santa Barbara celebration begins. Though some are built off-site, most of the whimsical and fantastical floats for the annual parade are created at the workshop, a small, quiet parking lot turned bustling art studio.

As a culmination of the efforts of hundreds of people, this annual celebration requires a lot of manpower — and more is needed before Saturday’s parade. And if you’re not the artistic type?
