Local artists sell their wares along the beach each fair weather Sunday and on special holidays, inviting residents and visitors to stroll the waterfront and take home handmade treasures. Since 1966, the Arts and Crafts Show has been a city event, and the range of objects makes it an incredible place to shop for souvenirs. Some 250 artists frequent the show, and all price points and media are represented. Check out jewelry, paintings, pottery, sculpture, photography, toys and plenty of other offerings. Finding parking can be tricky, but it's worth it. Sterns Wharf and the Funk Zone are right nearby if you want to follow your walk up with lunch or some wine tasting.

- Best for Free Things to Do Because: Also known simply as the "Art Walk," this weekend art show along the beachfront is a Santa Barbara classic.
