Details
This First Thursday, November 5th, Santa Barbara-based nonprofit Unite to Light is bringing The Power of Possibility to downtown Santa Barbara — a free evening of light, art, music, and community at the San Marcos Courtyard on State Street, from 5:00–8:00 p.m.
As we celebrate 15 years of getting solar lights and chargers to people living without reliable electricity around the world, we're inviting local downtown businesses to join us as Community Partners and help spread the light throughout State Street.
Participating businesses will receive a Unite to Light solar lantern and small window sign to display in their storefront in the weeks leading up to November 5th, along with event information for customers. We'd love to see lanterns and signs throughout downtown creating a visible invitation to the community.
In return, Unite to Light will recognize participating businesses as Community Partners on our event website and in our community thank-yous, helping shine a light on the local businesses that are supporting this free community celebration.
Interested in becoming a Community Partner? We'd love to have you join us. Contact Anna at events@unitetolight.org to learn more or sign up.
