Fiesta is in full swing here in Santa Barbara. Confetti is flying, tacos are being consumed, sombreros are worn and massive amounts of cerveza are sold.
The streets are flooded with tourists as the locals either love it or leave it. Some Santa Barbarians take in the festivities whole-heartedly while others get out
of Dodge. Either way, Viva la Fiesta!
In local news: The SB Fire Department helped stranded locals who were trapped in a downtown elevator, the Fiesta Parade was full of crowds and horses,
and it's raining! Read these stories and more below:
