Sponsorship
For the past three years, SBTHP has partnered with local AAPI artists, businesses and cultural organizations to provide the Santa Barbara community with a Lunar New Year community celebration on the grounds of El Presidio de Santa Bárbara State Historic Park, that brought a combined 5,000 people to the historic Presidio Neighborhood to celebrate and commemorate our rich, diverse Asian American communities, cultures & history.
With the support of sponsors, SBTHP hopes to meet the community’s demand to continue this popular annual tradition, and will allow us to come together to celebrate our AAPI history and communities with a 2027 Lunar Year of the Goat Festival.
