Hundreds showed up for the annual Fiesta Ranchera event at the Stow House in Goleta on Thursday evening, benefitting Old Spanish Days and the Goleta Valley Historical Society.
The festive evening offered samples from various restaurants and caterers with wine and beer from local purveyors.
Some of the samples were from Anna’s Bakery, Country Meat Market, Draughtsmen, Elubia’s, Goleta Red Distilling Company, Los Arroyos, M Special, Nugget of Goleta, Old Town Coffee, SAMsSARA, Santa Barbara Gift Baskets, Third Window, and Woodfire Pizza/Catering.
The crowd enjoyed performances by the 2023 Spirit and Junior Spirit of Fiesta, musical entertainment by classical guitarist Tony Ybarra and ended the night moving to groovy tunes by Area 51.
