Location: Old Mission Santa Barbara * May 25-27, 2024

Santa Barbara is proud to be the first to bring this romantic Italian festival to the western hemisphere from our sister festival in Grazie di Curtatone, Italy. The Festival, a beloved tradition in Santa Barbara, is also our primary fundraiser for Children’s Creative Project. By attending the I Madonnari Festival, you’re not just enjoying the festivities but also directly contributing to arts education programs in schools throughout the county.

The Santa Barbara I Madonnari Street Painting Festival offers a truly unique experience, where artists of all ages come together to create street paintings, ranging from classical to original images.  This annual three-day festival, held on Memorial Day Weekend at the Old Mission Santa Barbara, is a sight to behold. You can get a glimpse of the magic through photos of past street paintings on our festival website, Facebook, and Instagram.

More than just a festival, this three-day event celebrates our community. Alongside the stunning street paintings, the Market on the Mission Lawn will be filled with live entertainment and delicious food from our local vendors.
