ew locations in California deliver so much simultaneously artistic and historic impact as the Mural Room of the Santa Barbara County Courthouse. David Bolton, who heads the California Missions Foundation, realized as much a few weeks ago during a luncheon in that room and started plotting with various other organizations in town to bring those murals to life for this year’s Fiesta Parade.

“The murals on all four walls depict what are often considered the biggest historical ‘moments’ in Santa Barbara’s rich history, so I thought it would be a fun, educational, and new way to tell the history of Santa Barbara,” said Bolton, who’s studied that history for a quarter-century. “Once I began talking up the float idea to others, we quickly received favorable feedback, and now it has become a truly collaborative effort with the Chumash, S.B. Courthouse Legacy Foundation, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, the Presidio and the Trust for Historic Preservation, Old Mission Santa Barbara, and the Santa Barbara Historical Society.”

The project quickly grew into two floats, one depicting the 1542 meeting between the Chumash and Juan Cabrillo and the other combining the 1822 mural of the Mexican flag rising above Santa Barbara and the 1846 mural of General Fremont coming down San Marcos Pass to take over Santa Barbara for the United States.

“The murals, painted in the early 1920s, will come to life with real people wearing identical outfits with a few modifications correcting any historical inaccuracies,” said Bolton.

cado at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church on Nopal Street on the lower Eastside, where some of the most authentic Mexican dishes can be found.

Let’s start with the rich cornucopia at De la Guerra. First, I’ll be heading for the El Zarape booth, where my old friend Raul Gil is creating tasty tacos of pork, beef, and goat.

Yes, I said goat, and if you haven’t tried one of these traditional snacks, dripping with hot sauce, you haven’t had a real Fiesta.

Next stop will be the place that always has the longest line, the Old Spanish Days booth.

The popularity is partly because it’s the first booth when you enter the plaza, but it’s also because of The author the burritos they serve,

ith all due respect to Ernest Hemingway, Fiesta truly is a movable feast — you just move from one food booth to another, digging into something different with each step.

Santa Barbara sure isn’t Paris, but when Fiesta rolls around, you’ll find the best open-air concentration of spicy food this side of the border. And you’ll never go back to Taco Belch.

We’re talking about booths ringing De la Guerra Plaza (a k a Mercado de la Guerra) downtown and MacKenzie Park (Mercado del Norte) at Las Positas and State Street, all benefiting nonprofit agencies.

Not Just Flamenco Where to Find Rock Amid the Cascarones

W

by Richie DeMaria

hen you think Fiesta, you might think of mariachi, folklórico, and flamenco — less so contemporary rock and roots music. But Old Spanish Days are some of the best days in town to watch Santa Barbara musicians sing, strut, and strum. With three major stages to choose from — Mercado de la Guerra (MDG), Casa Cantina (CC), and Mercado del Norte (MDN) — live-music fans have their ears full these coming days and nights.

Fiesta brings some true veterans of the Santa Barbara music scene back once more into the spotlight. Spencer the Gardener will be playing not once, but thrice (CC on Wed. at 8pm; MDN Cantina Stage Fri. at 7:15pm; and MDG Sat. at 8:30pm). A perennial favorite, including the Wednesday-night affair that’s become a preferred Fiesta kickoff party for locals, Spencer’s sunny songs accented with brassy flourishes make for a perfect cultivar for the sights and sounds of Fiesta.

If rock ’n’ roll is your forte, this year’s Fiesta serves up a slew of classic rock standard bearers who will be familiar to some and rocking to all. Big-time blues-rockers and Alan Parsons road mates Alastair Greene Band will stop in town before taking off to Germany with Mr. Parsons (MDG Wed. at 8:30pm; MDN Cantina Stage Sat. at 4pm). Be sure to also catch Rick Reeves, who has played just about everywhere with everyone since the ’80s and has sparked many a passion for guitar playing in local youths (MDG Wed. at 6:30pm). Rock fans can choose to end their Saturday with RedFish, who cover everyone from The Beatles and Deep Purple to Cage The Elephant and Daft Punk (MDN Cantina Stage Sat. at 8:30pm).

But while wise old veterans like Greene and Reeves prove rock never dies, this year’s Fiesta lineup is a veritable Trix rabbit hole of young up-and-comers, many of whom will

Every year I know I can find hot German sausages, and the Muscle Beach Café has them, along with artery-clogging, bacon-wrapped, all-beef hotdogs and French fries. You crave tamales? The Apostolic Assembly Church has cooked up chicken, pork, and cheese tamales, washed down with horchata.

There’s always something different at Del Norte, such as the Surfrider booth’s Kahlúa burgers, Kahlúa pork sandwiches, and egg rolls. Del Norte is also where carnivores will find good old Santa Barbara County tri-tip sandwiches and beef ribs, at BBQ Heaven.

Boy Scout Troop 1 is serving up genuine American corn on the cob, and southof-the-border chicken fajita burritos.

All the spicy stuff you can handle, and more, awaits at the Santa Barbara-Puerto Vallarta Sister Cities Committee booth: chicken taquitos, fish tacos, soft chicken tacos, carne asada burritos, tortas, tacos, and carne asada super nachos. Wow, that’s a mouthful.

Speaking of tradition, the women of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church on the Eastside have been cooking for days, preparing dishes as authentic as you’ll find anywhere in town this week and maybe more so. Aficionados know it’s not Fiesta without a stop here. It opens today, August 5, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., and stays that way through Sunday.

This is just a sampling of the Fiesta dishes you’ll find. It’s way more than I can handle, but that won’t stop me from trying.

Happy Fiesta feasting! n

jammed with either chicken, tasty carne asada (marinated steak), or carnitas, the slow-cooked, kinda crispy pork bits originally from Michoacan.

I’ve been loitering around Mercado de la Guerra since 1960, and faithful readers know that I moan about the shortage of enchiladas there every year. I’m very happy to report that the United Latin American Pentecostal Church heard my plea to the Almighty and will be serving chicken, cheese, and tender beef enchiladas this year!

The famous, tasty, traditional tamale is also hard to find at Fiesta for some reason.

But this year, you can get your tamale fix by heading to La Bella Rosa Bakery booth, where they are filling the cornmeal treats with pork, chicken, or cheese, along with sides of beans, rice, and that sweet dessert, flan.

I’m a nut for pulled pork and know I’ll find spicy sandwiches at the Vietnam Veterans of America booth. You say you just want old-fashioned tacos and no fuss or muss? Head for the old reliable Rugby Association and Special Olympics booths, and you’ll find them, along with lemonade to wash them down. Speaking of drinks, this is one week when you’ll find plenty of icy, milky, nondairy horchata and cool jamaica, made from the hibiscus flowers.

Up at MacKenzie Park, Mercado del Norte is best known as a family-friendly fest packed with kids and carnival rides, yet still boasting more elbow room than DLG as well as a slew of tables, if you can grab one. The parking was also recently given a face-lift.
