Summer Solstice in Santa Barbara

Hi guys!!!!
I have been lagging on the posts lately, I'm having a little stay-cation while I have some family in town and finally found some time to post! 

Every year Santa Barbara hosts a huge Summer Solstice parade! I'm talking the whole city comes out plus visitors from all over! This is a chance for your inner hippie to shine, to dress up, dance in the street and let go! It's so fun seeing all the costumes people wear in the parade and all the floats that are decked out in flowers, streamers, basically the most random scraps one can find! This years theme was 'creatures', and every year there is a theme for the solstice parade and afterwards it all ends at Alice Keck Park where all the floats park and your free to roam around checking out various vendors, grab a beer in the beer garden or join in on the drum circle!

Some of my girlfriends and I made flower crowns to wear, I decided to wear all white & cream, with my H&M crochet shorts and a flouncy tank from Nordstroms with my all white flower crown, they were super easy and so fun to make! Let me know if you gals want a tutorial!

Here's some photos from this year! We watched the parade from Carlitos Mexican Cantina (hello margarita bar!) but I didn't have a very good view for snapping pics of the parade :(
