Santa Barbara's I Madonnari Festival

I Madonnari's a festival from Italy where artists sketch on the streets fronting the Santa Barbara Mission using chalk.  Most of my coworkers live in Santa Barbara and recommended we check it out and glad we did!  Companies, schools, charities, individuals, families, etc. can purchase a square and use it to advertise or just draw for fun.  There were food booths and musicians performing too.  It was so cute listening to a group of little girls singing in Italian.

The Santa Barbara Mission also has a big park with a gorgeous rose garden!  It was such a nice day!
