HARBOR SING, Mid-October: In the tradition of Revels’ popular Pub Sings, when everyone is invited to join rollicking music- making, our Harbor Sing is designed for singing, clapping, and laughing. We highlight sea shanties, traditional tunes, folk songs, and everyone’s Irish favorites. Enjoy a special sunset and congenial companions.
THE CHRISTMAS REVELS, Mid-December: Our 19th annual production transports us to the heart of London during the mid-Victorian period. In bustling Covent Garden, society mingles with street life, as late-night theatre patrons greet early-morning market goers, dandies rub elbows with dustmen, sophisticates mix with street criers, toffs salute tradesmen, carolers, and costers. Everyone eagerly anticipates welcoming the shortest day of the year.
JOIN US AND BE JOYOUS!

THE CHRISTMAS REVELS: Mystical visitors from the East – the Sun, Moon, and Stars – visit a mythical village somewhere in Europe, bringing vibrant color, music, and story along with a glimpse of life and a world view unimagined by these simple folks. Hearts and minds are opened to a new perspective and the light of a New Year is restored.

Santa Barbara Revels celebrates a diverse range of cultural traditions by blending music, dance and storytelling in our staged celebrations of the Winter Solstice and other seasons.

We present a number of public events throughout the year. From concerts like Equinox to more informal community pub-sings, there is always an upcoming Revels happening.

The highlight of our season is The Christmas Revels, a joyful theatrical celebration of the winter solstice that travels the world each year showcasing cultural traditions including music, dance, and folktales.
