Escape to Santa Barbara and experience the "American Riviera" at its finest. Renowned for its sun-drenched, palm-lined thoroughfares and distinctive Mediterranean architecture, downtown Santa Barbara has taken on an even more European flair thanks to the State Street Promenade – a sprawling, 10-block pedestrian oasis where you can shop, sip, and dine free from car traffic. In addition, Santa Barbara’s Mediterranean-style, outdoor shopping center, Paseo Nuevo, features a variety of eateries and name brand stores. You’ll have approximately 4 ½ hours at leisure to enjoy lunch on your own, explore, relax and soak up all that this sophisticated beach town has to offer. For those seeking a more “floral” adventure, cut your time downtown in half and take advantage of an optional excursion with your tour director onboard the motorcoach to the 78th Annual International Orchid Show this afternoon. This year’s theme, Orchid Escape, invites you to explore the vibrant beauty of orchids and their natural habitats. As one of the oldest, largest and most prestigious horticulture events in the world, the show transforms over a half-acre into a breathtaking gallery of exotic orchid species and hybrids. Enjoy approximately two hours at leisure to wander through grand floral arrangements designed by global artisans, admire orchid-inspired art and photography, and watch top growers compete for "Best in Show." Whether you’re a dedicated enthusiast or a casual admirer, the expert demonstrations, workshops, and rare orchids for sale, make this a vibrant celebration of nature’s most beguiling flower and an experience not to be missed!
