Carpinteria was full of holiday cheer at Saturday’s annual Carpinteria Holiday Spirit Parade. The holiday-focused fun festivities took place on downtown Linden Avenue and featured Santas (one on a unicycle), cheerleaders from Carpinteria High, all sorts of community members and lots of four-legged friends including dogs, and sheep from the 4-H club.
Other winter special events in town that day included Hospice of Santa Barbara’s Light Up a Life event at the Seal Fountain and special promotions from lots of local merchants.
