Last Saturday, the Santa Barbara Harbor and Seafood Festival took place in downtown SB. The harbor was packed with people wanting to get a taste of locally caught and freshly prepared seafood. Along with getting to meet fisherman face to face and experiencing an enriching day of activities and events that provide insight into the prominent food industry of Santa Barbara, guests are entertained with live music, artisan shopping and, of course, delicious food.
