2017 marks the seventh year of Deltopia, Isla Vista’s annual Spring Break celebration on Del Playa Drive. This past weekend saw 6,000 to 8,000 people attend the informal street party, with 42 arrests, 68 citations and 14 medical transports, still down from the 20,000 to 25,000 attending, 130 arrested, 190 cited and 50 medically transported in 2014.
A UC Santa Barbara student fell off an oceanside balcony Saturday afternoon and sustained “moderate injuries,” authorities said.
Associated Students Program Board hosted on Saturday night its third annual installment of The Warm Up featuring artists RL Grime and Destructo.
