Californio Canto-Baile

The Californio Canto~Baile Arts Education Program is a unique arts education outreach project of Old Spanish Days Fiesta in Santa Barbara, CA. The songs, dances and history of Santa Barbara’s pastoral era, during California’s Rancho period around 1850, are taught to fourth graders at local elementary schools in Santa Barbara, Goleta and Isla Vista, during school time. The project perpetuates and preserves local cultural identity while providing much-needed arts education experiences free-of-charge to each school.
