Description

Before the Mast in which the author recounts his time in Santa Barbara in 1836, witnessing the grand wedding reception at the Casa De la Guerra, my ancestral home. Our tradition of handsome horses, expert equestrians, rodeo competitions with skillful cowboys, singing and dancing and delight in welcoming visitors: these are the things we commemorate and celebrate in our Old Spanish Days as they have been treasured in our community for over 180 years. To this purpose we dedicate our ninetieth year of Santa Barbara's Fiesta.

The Californio Canto~Baile Arts Education Program is a unique arts education outreach project that focuses on an interdisciplinary learning process, integrating the arts with the fourth grade study of California history. It utilizes music, dance, culture, and community traditions of Santa Barbara to provide students with a tangible experience of their social studies curriculum at no cost to the participating schools. Students learn historic 19th century songs and dances that are unique to California and Santa Barbara and specifically emulate and describe Rancho family life.
