Welcome to The funk zone

Hey friends! One of my favorite places in Santa Barbara, California, is The Funk Zone! The Funk Zone is located between State Street & Garden Street and Montecito Street and Cabrillo Blvd., just a short walk to the beach. 

Aptly named, this cute little area features storefronts with handmade art & jewelry, art galleries, open area live music, eclectic restaurants & bakeries, breweries and over 15 wineries & tasting rooms! The streets are dotted with beautiful flowers everywhere and many of the buildings have hand painted “graffiti” murals on the sides. This is a completely walkable area, and mostly dog-friendly to boot, so feel free to bring your pup along for the experience.

There’s plenty of fun for all ages. If you make your way up to Santa Barbara, don’t forget to visit The Funk Zone!
