Starr King Annual Winter Market

Starr King Parent-Child Workshop invites the Santa Barbara community to celebrate the season at its second annual Starr King Winter Market & Silent Auction on Saturday, November 14, from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara, 1535 Santa Barbara St.

Inspired by the traditional German holiday markets that have brought communities together for centuries, the Winter Market offers a festive afternoon of shopping, food, drinks, family activities, and community connection. Admission is free, and proceeds from the silent auction and event activities will benefit Starr King’s cooperative preschool program.

Snow guaranteed! Families can enjoy a little winter magic in Santa Barbara, along with free creative activities provided in partnership with FoundCreate and Art From Scrap. Children’s activity wristbands will also be available for $20 and include face painting, parkour with Santa Barbara Trapeze, and treats such as hot chocolate, popcorn, and cotton candy.

Adults can enjoy food from Dutch Gardens, traditional German mulled wine, and local beer while browsing a variety of local small-business vendors and finding unique gifts for the holiday season.

The Winter Market is an opportunity for the broader Santa Barbara community to come together in support of early childhood education. Funds raised through the silent auction and event activities help provide enriching classroom experiences, resources, and scholarships for Starr King families. This event will happen rain or shine!
