Every Summer Santa Barbara has a Fiesta Festival that has been going on for 75 years! The festival goes on for several days and the entire town embraces it. Stores and restaurants are decorated. Everyone talks about it and wishes each other "Viva la fiesta!" meaning "long live the party". While my coworkers and I went to Costco to get food for our picnic, they ran into people they knew and they said "viva la fiesta" like it was a normal greeting.
My boss came up and joined us. We went after work and watched the dancing at the county courthouse. It was so nice! Another fun tradition is that you buy these empty eggshells filled with confetti from these vendors and you crush it on someone's head so confetti gets littered in your hair and everywhere. Let's just say we were all into it and found confetti all weekend when we went home.
