About La Arcada Plaza

La Arcada Plaza is on State Street in the heart of Santa Barbara’s Arts District: a collection of locally owned boutiques, galleries, restaurants and specialty services set in a historic European-style courtyard, with flowers, sculptures and its well-known turtle fountain. It is an easy stop between the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and lunch, with live music and seasonal events through the year.
