The holidays are made for gathering. And while the rest of the country bundles up indoors, Southern California gets to celebrate the season under the stars.
This December, the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort is leaning into the festivities with a charming night of live music, brought to life by some of California’s best jazz vocalists. Come for the seasonal cocktails and light bites, stay for the setlist of Christmas songs you know by heart.
Steps from East Beach, the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort gives these seasonal Concerts Under the Stars a backdrop no concert hall can match. With its mission-style arches, red-tile roofs, and sweeping views, it offers a relaxed, yet magical, atmosphere.
