There’s no better view of Santa Barbara than from Stearns Wharf and there’s no better time to experience it than on Wharf Wednesdays. As a follow on to last year’s 150th Anniversary, free concerts will be on the first Wednesday in 2023, through October.

Wharf Wednesday on September 6th will also feature live music by The Academy. The free concert will rock the Wharf from 4 Pm to 6 Pm. The Academy is a Santa Barbara-based rock band that has been performing around the area for eight years. They specialize in dishing up their own signature interpretation of the best pop and rock, blues, funk, groove an dance classics to the delight of all who enjoy high- energy live music. Duel vocalists Whitney DeTar and Dante Brunetto offer face melting, leg shaking, performances while being accompanied by Santa Barbara legends Craig Thatcher (drums), Daniel Bagdazian (Bass), and Gus DeTar (Keytar).

Bring the kids or a date, have dinner or drinks, stroll the shops, take in the sunset and you’ve got the makings for a memorable evening. Mark your calendar now and come listen to some great music on the most picturesque stage in the world! You do not want to miss this edition of Wharf Wednesdays.
