Santa Barbara, CA – Ahoy, mateys! On Saturday, April 12, 2025, from 1:00 to 4:00 PM, Friends of State Street invites you to set sail for the inaugural Pirate Scavenger Hunt! Teams will explore 12 historic downtown locations and local businesses, solving trivia and uncovering the fascinating past of State Street.

Inspired by the real-life 1818 raid attempt by Hippolyte Bouchard, Santa Barbara’s only pirate, this interactive event brings history to life.
