One of Goleta’s favorite events is almost here. Fiesta Ranchera is on Thursday, June 20 from 5:00 – 10:00 p.m. at the beautiful Rancho La Patera & Stow House (304 N. Los Carneros Road). This treasured event is a chance to experience Fiesta in Goleta and is a collaboration between Old Spanish Days and the Goleta Valley Historical Society. This year is even more special as Old Spanish Days is celebrating 100 years! Come see performances by the 2024 Spirit of Fiesta, Junior Spirit and musical entertainment by classical guitarist Tony Ybarra and Area 51. There will also be delicious food and beverages from local restaurants, wineries, and breweries. This is a 21 and older event. Tickets are limited and must be purchased in advance. Go to https://oldspanishdays.ticketsauce.com/e/fiesta-ranchera-3.   

You can also experience Fiesta in Goleta at the June 18 Goleta City Council meeting. The Council will issue a proclamation declaring June 20, 2024, as “Fiesta Ranchera Day.” Council will also give Certificates of Recognition to the Spirit of Fiesta, Georgie Taupin, and the Junior Spirit of Fiesta, Aleenah Soriano, and watch them perform. We hope you will join us in person, watch on the City’s website or on Goleta TV Channel 19. Viva La Goleta!
