Paseo Nuevo is proud to be a community partner.  We strive to meet community challenges through a combination of employee volunteerism, financial support, in-kind donations, and partnerships with non-profit organizations that have missions consistent with our vision and values.

Community Partnerships

Santa Barbara International Film Festival: 
Paseo Nuevo partners with the Santa Barbara International Film Festival to host the Opening Night Gala.  This is a wonderful community event that draws locals as well as visitors to Paseo Nuevo.

Old Spanish Days: 
Paseo Nuevo invites local fiesta dance groups to perform in Center Court as the kick-off event to Old Spanish Days.  This 100 year old event is a Santa Barbara tradition that celebrates Santa Barbara’s origins and cultural heritage.

Contribution Requests
Each year, Paseo Nuevo makes contributions in the form of Gift Cards, merchandise, as well as promotional use of Center Court to a diverse group of organizations.  Donation recipients include civic organizations, educational institutions, food banks, foundations, hospitals and healthcare organizations, performing arts, and museums.  As hundreds of requests are received annually, unfortunately, not all requests can be granted.
