Getting There
We’re excited to see you all in Santa Barbara!
SB is a year-round travel destination for many, so we’d recommend booking your travel and accommodations early.

If you’re traveling from outside of California, there are many daily flights into Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). From there, it’s a 90 mile drive (about an hour and a half depending on traffic) north to Santa Barbara.
Santa Barbara also has its own small airport (SBA) located about 20 minutes north of downtown Santa Barbara. It may be worth checking it out to see if there’s a flight plan that works for you.
Once you arrive, there are many different options of where to stay. We love East Beach and Montecito for their proximity to the weekend events.
Some options in those areas:
Mar Monte Hotel | Santa Barbara Inn | Montecito Inn
