Sea You In September!

Santa Barbara, California

It’s the only festival of its kind in Southern California – and one of only two on the west coast – showcasing handmade sea glass jewelry and ocean-themed art. The Santa Barbara Sea Glass & Ocean Arts Festival features work created by dozens of talented artists from all across the country, bringing thousands of sea glass and beach enthusiasts to the renowned coastal jewel of Santa Barbara, California.

Held at the Elks Lodge #613, Santa Barbara the second weekend in September.  This end of summer weekend event will also have educational presentations, workshops, exciting contests and some great giveaways.

Since giving back to the community is of utmost importance to the committee, a portion of proceeds from the Festival will go a local nonprofit. Our nonprofit for 2024 is the Channel Islands Marine & Wildlife Institute (CIMWI)

Past Giving Back Recipients:

2023: Maui Wildfires - Direct Relief

2020 - 2022: Santa Barbara Maritime Museum

2019: Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network
