After 2025’s Deltopia, UCSB’s annual celebration of the beginning of spring quarter, the iconic Del Playa Drive crumbled completely to the ocean. Organizers already anticipate the block party for next year taking place on the next most inland street, Sabado Tarde.

Originally named “Floatopia” because partygoers would party on rafts off the shores of Isla Vista, the celebration was outlawed because of its environmental destruction. When students moved the celebration to their yards on Del Playa Drive, it was renamed “Deltopia.” Now that the party will take place on Sabado Tarde, it will aptly be named “Sabatopia”.

Community members mourn the loss of Del Playa Drive, citing it as an essential cornerstone of UCSB culture.

“We are sad to see Del Playa Drive go. Not only did it provide homes for hundreds of students, it was one of the Seven Wonders of the Degeneracy World,” UCSB Press Liaison Judy Budy said. “More people could be seen streaking, day drinking, and in situationships on Del Playa than anywhere else in the world. Rest in peace.”

Some students blame the influx of visitors for Del Playa’s collapse.

“There were way too many people at Deltopia that don’t go here,” third year communication major Ethan Bro said. “I saw so many people from Cal Poly, UCLA, and even SBCC. Like, how do you guys even know about this place?”

While, thankfully, no one was injured or killed in Del Playa’s collapse, Isla Vista residents mourn the loss of some iconic properties.

“I’m hella sad that Jesus Burgers fell down. I loved getting the free burgers and blessings,” fourth year English major Slim Jim said. “That’s why I’m opening Satan Hot Dogs on Sabado, a new place where you can get free dogs and get sent to hell.”

Additionally, some Sabado Tarde residents are excited about their newly-oceanfront homes.

“I was tired of the D.P. houses blocking my view and I’m glad they’re gone,” third year biology major Anna Nolastname said. “Now, I’m just scared that the Trigo residents are gonna get mad or something and start eroding the cliffs faster on purpose.”

Sabatopia is set to take place in April of next year. Along with a name change, the event will also ban wearing clothing and have zero police presence.

Joseph R. Biden will be attending Suenopia in 2040.
