TODAY IS THE DAY! The Downtown Organization of Santa Barbara is producing its first "Rock the Block" block party in a new series of themed events. Enjoy games and activities including playing a game of G-H-O-S-T (otherwise known as H-O-R-S-E) with players from the UCSB Men & Women's Basketball teams, face and pumpkin painting, and more. Event patrons can also borrow scary books provided by the Santa Barbara Library mobile van. A community table running along State Street is provided for attendees to sit and eat takeout from local restaurants. Spooky performances by The Coveralls, La Boheme Professional Dance and World Dance For Humanity will keep attendees howlin' for more. Local vendors will also be on site for harvest season shopping. Families and furry friends are all welcome to join in Halloween costumes for a chance to win prizes from local businesses. A photo zone will also be on site with props for community members to take photos and show off their costumes.
