Shop Spree SB, Downtown on September 10 & 11

Mark your calendar now to spoil yourself this coming September 10 and 11 during the inaugural Shop Spree SB weekend shopping festival! Santa Barbara residents and visitors are invited to celebrate shopping Downtown and indulge in exclusive in-store discounts, events, and seasonal premiers as they stroll along State Street and surrounding side streets.

Kick off Shop Spree SB on Friday where you’ll find over 30 stores offering incentives and enjoy live music along State Street while you get your shop on. Between 4-6pm be sure to stop by the KSBL live remote tent at the State Street entrance to Paseo Nuevo for free gifts and give-a-ways. Then make your way to Blush for a refreshing Shop Spree SB Sangria, rest your soles and get ready to party! Starting at 6pm you won’t want to miss Paseo Nuevo’s Fashion’s Night Out event, a global initiative to celebrate fashion, restore consumer confidence and put the fun back in shopping. Here you will find live music, live models, refreshments and special events under the spotlight, highlighting the latest fall fashions.

Saturday continues the shopping extravaganza with more outdoor music performances, discounts and unique in-store events. Samy’s Camera challenges shoppers to document their Shop Spree SB experience on camera with a photo scavenger hunt for prizes while Sephora offers tutorials on Fall makeup and Santa Barbara Outfitters hosts free kid’s rock climbing clinics and much more!
