The Santa Barbara Harbor and Seafood Festival gives people the chance to try locally caught fish and seafood, as well as meet the fishermen and women who harvested it.
"It's really a great opportunity to introduce people to our seafood industry here, and meet our fisher-people, face to face and learn about the environment aspect," said Chris Bell from the City of Santa Barbara Waterfront Department.
Bell told KCLU the Harbor is an important part of the fabric of the City.
"A lot of people may be surprised that it is such a working harbor. We have a robust fishing fleet here," said Bell.
The Harbor Festival takes place on Saturday October 15 from 10am to 5pm, with free admission.
