Each year, Santa Barbara Beautiful recognizes & celebrates outstanding individuals, organizations, and businesses who complete community projects throughout the city through our Annual Awards celebration. From small single-family residence do-it-yourself projects to estate gardens, civic buildings, theatres, placing art in public places, and everything in between, these awards single out exemplary properties—and the individuals involved—that expand the beauty of Santa Barbara.
The 2024 Annual Awards will be this and more. Set at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum on September 29th, the event will offer places, art, and people you won’t want to miss!

The recognition is phenomenal! It’s an amazing surprise. And that people are visiting it, and enjoying it and recognizing it is beyond anything that we ever expected.
