Each year, The Santa Barbara Independent publishes our Local Heroes issue the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The following week, we invite our heroes, local dignitaries, and community members to join us at SOhO Restaurant and Music Club to hear from the year’s honorees and celebrate the contributions and good work they’ve done for Santa Barbara. You can watch the Luncheon and hear about the origins of our Local Heroes issue, hear from our 2025 honorees, and join us in celebrating the good work they’ve done and continue to do in our community.
