Memorable Goleta Community State of the City

Highlight Video, Sizzle Reel and Full Recording Available

The State of Goleta is strong according to Mayor Paula Perotte. The Mayor gave her 2024 State of the City Address on April 10, 2024, at the newly reopened Goleta Community Center. Approximately 150 people turned out including community leaders, stakeholders, residents and City staff. It was a memorable and informative event from start to finish and a great opportunity for those who attended to connect with each other and learn how the City is doing and what the future holds. The event included live music, city information tables, mingling, refreshments, presentations from the Mayor and City Manager and questions from the public.

If you missed it, we have good news for you! Watch our highlight video to get a flavor of how Goleta’s biggest night of the year went. You can even watch the memorable event its entirety at https://youtu.be/XWtQ1AMhoKM.  

The Community State of the City also saw the premiere of our Good Times in the Good Land video which highlights the impressive public engagement we had last year at the many memorable Goleta events that took place.
