I Madonnari Italian Street Painting Festival

Madonnari, or street painters, transform the Mission plaza using pastels on pavement to create 150 vibrant and colorful, large-scale images. The Santa Barbara I Madonnari Street Painting Festival presents the rare opportunity to view artists of all ages create street paintings ranging from classical to original images.  The annual, three-day festival is held on the Memorial Day Weekend at the Old Mission Santa Barbara.
