2012 FIESTA LA PRIMAVERA . . . ONE GREAT PARTY!

The kick off for the 2012 Fiesta Season was a delightful evening for all in attendance. El Presidente, Ricardo Castellanos unveiled the 2012 Fiesta poster

& pin, while Mariachi’s provided live music and guests not only were treated to a performance by Sabrina Ibarra, Jesalyn McCollum and Sadee Broida 2012 Spirit of Fiesta winners, but some enjoyed a dance of their own as well.

Members of the board, friends of Fiesta and past El Presidente members thoroughly enjoyed the fine food and festive atmosphere at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum on De la Guerra Street, where a good time seemed to be had by all.

Listen to the distinctive sounds of the bouzouki and other exotic instruments played by authentic Greek musicians who perform traditional and popular songs. Delight in the beauty of the elaborate costumes worn by performers as they share their carefully practiced steps and intricate dances with the enthusiastic audience.

Take advantage of a free Greek dance lesson, and enjoy participating in the same dances you would perform in the traditional villages of Greece. Dance the afternoon away, eat a little (or a lot), shop in the Greek marketplace, relax and enjoy yourself under the oaks in the warm embrace of the best Greek culture has to offer.
