The Santa Barbara Farmers Market:
If you are planning on staying for more than just a day or two I recommend visiting our abundant farmers market. I am sure you will be pleased and surprised with the amount of vendors. Most days of the week the market is located at one location or another in Santa Barbara. Check out a link to their webpage for details: http://www.sbfarmersmarket.org/
