✈️ Getting There
Santa Barbara is served by two main airport options:
Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (SBA): This is the most convenient option, located just 10-15 minutes from downtown. It is a smaller airport, so flights may be more limited or slightly more expensive.
LAX: is about a two-hour drive north to Santa Barbara. From LAX, you can book a shuttle service (like the Santa Barbara Airbus LAX directly to SB), take the Amtrak train from the Union Station, or rent a car.
🚗 Getting Around
If you plan on staying primarily in the downtown area, the city is very walkable and offers plenty of ride-share services.
🏨 Where to Stay
We will not be doing a block of rooms. We will be staying at The Hotel Santa Barbara, as it is centrally located to most of the events. You are more than welcome to stay there or look for other accommodations. We have added additional recommendations, but generally everything is very close together.
Feel free to reach out to us if you have questions.
