Small Business Saturday in Downtown Santa Barbara

The Downtown Santa Barbara Improvement Association invites the community to celebrate the spirit of entrepreneurship and show their support for local businesses on Small Business Saturday, November 29, 2025.

This annual event is a prime opportunity to discover the unique shops, restaurants, and services that make Santa Barbara’s downtown core so vibrant.

Shoppers are encouraged to stroll down State Street to explore a diverse array of small businesses offering one-of-a-kind gifts, seasonal treats, and exclusive promotions.

By choosing to shop small, you’re not just making a purchase—you’re directly investing in the local economy, supporting neighbors, and helping to keep the heart of our city thriving.

Whether you’re looking for a special holiday gift or simply want to enjoy a festive day out, Downtown Santa Barbara has something for everyone. Join us and make a big impact by shopping small.
