Starr King Parent-Child Workshop Winter Market & Silent Auction

A family-friendly celebration bringing the spirit of a German market to Santa Barbara

Starr King Parent-Child Workshop invites the community to its Winter Market & Silent Auction on Sunday, November 16 from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at 1525 1/2 Santa Barbara St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

This family-friendly event will transform the Starr King campus into a festive marketplace featuring bounce houses, face painting, snow, and kid-friendly crafts, alongside local vendors, delicious food and drinks, and a silent auction packed with incredible items and experiences. Entry is free, with both free and paid children’s activities.

Pre-register online and receive a free Children’s Activity Ticket!

Families who register in advance will receive one complimentary ticket for a child activity of their choice – a fun way to jump right into the festivities. Registration is free and helps the Starr King PCW team plan for a great community day. Sign up at https://www.starrking-pcw.org/winter-market

Guests can enjoy pretzels and bratwurst from Dutch Gardens, waffles from the German Language School, traditional Glühwein (mulled wine), and local beer from Figueroa Mountain, all while browsing handcrafted gifts, local art, and unique finds from community vendors.

The event is free and open to the public, with proceeds from the silent auction, drinks, selected activities and a percentage of vendor sales directly supporting Starr King PCW’s cooperative preschool program, scholarships, and classroom resources.
