Get ready to kick off Old Spanish Days in true Santa Barbara style at DIGS , Fiesta’s wildest party, returning on Thursday, July 31, at the Santa Barbara Zoo . This festive celebration features signature delicious bites from top local restaurants, refreshing margaritas, live music, and dancing on the Zoo’s iconic hilltop with sweeping ocean views.
Co-hosted by the Santa Barbara Zoo and Old Spanish Days, DIGS is a beloved annual tradition during the Fiesta season and a joint fundraiser for both organizations.
Guests are encouraged to don their finest Fiesta attire and soak in a summer evening filled with flavor, music, and community. As the sun sets over the Pacific, enjoy unlimited food tastings, festive cocktails, and exclusive after-hours access to the Zoo—all in support of two local nonprofits.
