A Crimson Holiday Returns to La Cumbre Plaza

A Crimson Holiday is celebrating 12 years of seasonal gift galleries in uptown Santa Barbara! Come and meet our 40+ local artisans and join us in welcoming the holiday season with refreshments and good cheer at our GRAND OPENING EVENT on Thursday, November 8, from 5-8pm across from Chico’s at La Cumbre Plaza, 121 Hope Avenue. 
 
This year we feature wearable art including jewelry, designer handbags, scarves, and shawls. For your home, select from our professional photography, mosaic art, lamps, cutting boards, wine-related items, handmade tiles, Christmas arrangements and ornaments, and much more!  For the young and the young at heart, we have toys, clothing, stuffed critters, and fairy costumes. There is even a special book of Santa Barbara holiday memories for those who love Santa Barbara history.
 
Started long ago by four enterprising local artisans, we have grown to include many of the area’s most talented designers, artists, crafters, and authors. A Crimson Holiday has become a staple and a destination for local holiday shoppers who await our November 1 opening to see which artisans have returned and what new work is being offered for the first time. 
 
We are thankful to all of our loyal customers—both new and old, who support small business in Santa Barbara. You are the reason we are back! This year, we are located in La Cumbre Plaza, across from Chico’s.
 
Our regular hours are Monday-Friday from 10 am to 8 pm, Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm, and Sunday from 11 am to 6 pm. Extended holiday hours start mid-December and can be found on our website, www.ACrimsonHoliday.com.
