Dancer Jack “Joaquin” Harwood was the first male to serve as Spirit of Fiesta (2023). Since the historic win, he competed as a finalist in the Certamen NYC and performed as a principal flamenco dancer in the LA Opera production, “Ainadamar."
Enjoy a truly unique Spanish experience as we help kick off our community’s Fiesta 2025 celebrations with Fiesta en la Casa, a vibrant, specially curated event hosted by Casa del Herrero on Saturday, July 26, 2025, from 4:00 to 7:30 PM.
Set in the stunning gardens of the historic Casa del Herrero, guests will enjoy a festive evening of farm-to-table tapas made with ingredients from the Casa’s own organic garden, accompanied by refreshing Spanish cocktails and wines. The evening will also feature a lively showcase of Spanish arts and cultural traditions in honor of the rich heritage that inspires this annual community celebration.
Fiesta en la Casa offers an unforgettable way to kick off Santa Barbara’s beloved Fiesta season in Montecito’s only National Historic Landmark and one of the finest examples of Spanish Colonial Revival style architecture.
Join us for an evening of authentic flavors, rich cultural traditions, and the timeless charm of Casa del Herrero—celebrating 100 years of history, beauty, and community.
Individual tickets for this intimate celebration are $275 per person.
