Enjoy a festive day in this charming wine community just north of Santa Barbara. A short drive brings you to a busy main street lined with shops, wine tasting rooms and restaurants. Los Olivos celebrates on Olde Fashioned Christmas every year, often on the first Saturday of December. This year, it falls on December 4, 2021. Enjoy an artisan boutique and open houses as well as crafts for the kids. Holiday treats and carolers make the afternoon extra cheery and, perhaps unsurprisingly, Santa is the special guest. Visit the park for some free roasted walnuts, Christmas cookies and hot chocolate plus holiday music and singers. The event is capped off by the official tree lighting by the flagpole at the center of town with live music in the park nearby.
