On Saturday morning, come on into town with the whole family for the Old Santa Ynez Days Street Faire and Grande Parade. Find your seat on Sagunto Street by 10 AM to watch the parade filled with horses, wagons, floats, dogs and more! This year, they are honoring the Santa Ynez Valley Elks as the Grand Marshal.

 

After the parade, stick around to peruse not only the fabulous local boutiques but also the artisanal vendors in for the day. Be sure to bring the kids too as we have expanded our free Kid’s Corral with face painters, pony rides, games, a bounce house and even a farm animal petting zoo. The truck area has also been expanded to include tractors, tow trucks and even a few cool special vehicles from various law enforcement agencies.

 

The fun doesn’t end at Sagunto Street though; there are so many wonderful boutiques and other businesses tucked around town so this year, there will be free carriage rides around downtown.
