Foot traffic moved slowly south of Stearns Wharf Sunday, as shoppers browsed the weekly Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show along Cabrillo Boulevard. Shoppers lined up around popular booths, and the block between the wharf and the Cabrillo parking lot was congested. When the show reopened post-pandemic, some vendors decided to wait before joining. It was easy to walk from end to end of the market. Now, artists have returned, covering a longer distance of the beachside street. “Santa Barbara must have quite an arts scene,” one tourist said to another. The other visitor agreed. The show has many painters with diverse styles, but the ocean tends to appear in many of the artists’ creations. Jake Reimer, or “Chef Jake,” channels the waves and the creatures that reside beneath in vibrant acrylic paintings. Sunday was his third showing at the market, and he has already sold and commissioned many paintings in under a month. Mr. Reimer is a private chef who recently began painting with his cooking utensils. He wasn’t filling his calendar with catering gigs during lockdowns, so he used his rolling pin for paint instead.

La Fiesta Pequeña means “Little Fiesta,” but it’s actually a big show for Old Spanish Days. And a big moment for the community. It’s been two years since Santa Barbara has seen La Fiesta Pequeña, but it will be back Wednesday with music, dance and colorful costumes at the Santa Barbara Mission. It’s hard to imagine a better way to kick off Fiesta, which will continue through Sunday in Santa Barbara and will feature in-person events that didn’t take place last year because of the pandemic. This year’s Fiesta will be closer to the ones that the community remembers, although there won’t be any parades and, because of an increase in COVID-19 cases, no mercados. But the shows are back at the mission and the Santa Barbara County Courthouse’s Sunken Gardens. And DIGS! (Celebración de los Dignatarios) is back at the Santa Barbara Zoo, as well as the Fiesta Stock Horse Show at Earl Warren Showgrounds. Already, pre-Fiesta events have taken place in the wake of the state’s reopening. On Sunday night, La Recepción del Presidente took place at the Carriage and Western Art Museum. Here’s the schedule for Fiesta.
