Come join the Masq(p)arade!

The 3rd Annual Masq(p)arade! performance progressive will take place on Friday, October 20, 2023, with shows every fifteen minutes from 5:30pm to 8:00pm. This whimsical progressive-style performance parade showcases a series of dynamic piano-based performances, taking place in the heart of Santa Barbara's historic cultural arts district in celebration of Pianos on State.

Audience members can get in on the fun by wearing festive masks as well!
