Coast Village Tree Lighting

Dec. 3, 2026

4 p.m. - 6 p.m.

Join Coast Village Association for the Annual Tree Lighting event and kick off the holiday season! The heart of Montecito will be festive as families, friends and four-legged companions gather for the annual holiday tree lighting on Coast Village Road.

The celebration brings together multiple generations and is co-sponsored by Montecito Community Foundation. Be sure to dress in your holiday attire, to usher in the season with the community spirit that makes Montecito so special. Together, you’ll count down to light the tree with Santa Claus at dark while Hot Chocolate with marshmallows and Cider flows for a perfect evening on Coast Village Road.

This year there will be a Nutcracker showcase of performances by State Street Barbara Ballet. The Santa Barbara Youth Symphony quartet returns to fill the air with melodic tunes. The addition of the Cold Springs Singers and the return of Santa Barbara Madrigals caroling will make this a “not to miss” event.
