Santa Barbara’s Sustainability & Resilience Department invites the community to its Sustainable Holidays Open House, 4-7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5 at 801 Garden St., Ste. 200.
The free and family-friendly event provides an opportunity for the city’s Sustainability & Resilience staff to meet with community members; share the city’s environmental initiatives; explain how residents can help protect the environment; and provide simple tips for a sustainable holiday season.
At the event there will be hot cider, cocoa, and holiday treats; and a caroling performance by the Santa Barbara High School Madrigals, 4:30-6 p.m.
Also on schedule are DIY holiday craft stations to create eco-friendly gifts, holiday ornaments, and wrapping paper, and photos with Santa.
“We’re excited to welcome the community back for our second Sustainable Holidays Open House,” said Alelia Parenteau, director of the Sustainability & Resilience Department. “Last year’s event was a big hit, bringing together community members to celebrate the season with sustainable practices.”
