Starr King Winter Holiday Market & Silent Auction

A family-friendly celebration bringing the spirit of a German holiday market to Santa Barbara

Starr King Parent-Child Workshop invites the community to kick off the holiday season at its Winter Holiday Market & Silent Auction on Sunday, November 16 from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at 1525 1/2 Santa Barbara St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

This free, family-friendly event will transform the Starr King campus into a festive marketplace featuring bounce houses, face painting, snow, and kid-friendly crafts, alongside local vendors, delicious food and drinks, and a silent auction perfect for checking items off holiday shopping lists.

Families who register in advance will receive one complimentary ticket for a child activity of their choice – a fun way to jump right into the festivities. Registration is free and helps the Starr King team plan for a great community day. Sign up at https://www.starrking-pcw.org/winter-market

Guests can enjoy pretzels and bratwurst from Dutch Gardens, waffles from the German Language School, traditional Glühwein (mulled wine), and local beer, all while browsing handcrafted gifts, local art, and unique finds from community vendors.

The event is free and open to the public, with proceeds from the silent auction and a percentage of vendor sales directly supporting Starr King’s cooperative preschool program, scholarships, and classroom resources.
