Last weekend was the official kick off for the 2015 Fiesta season, La Primavera<\/a>, where El Presidente Cas Stimson<\/a> unveiled the official Fiesta theme,\u00a0poster design, and pin.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0theme,\u00a0Fiesta Rom\u00e1ntica, states Stimson, “recalls the time in the early 19th\u00a0century when people met at parties filled with music and dance… that lasted for days! During this charming era, young men wooed their ladies with music and song under the moonlight. Old Spanish Days <\/a>continues this romance of people coming together in celebration with their best friends and spouses. As has been the case with many visitors and residents of Santa Barbara, my wife Kathy and I met during Fiesta 25 years ago.”<\/p>\n

La Primavera was\u00a0held at the historic El Paseo Restaurant<\/a>. Here’s a look at the event, featuring photos by Fritz Olenberger<\/a>.<\/p>\n
