It’s all about walkable downtown districts.
One downtown—multiple destinations, each with their own unique flavor and purpose—from street to sea.
Downtown Districts + Community Spaces
Historic Main Street
At DVTA Street to Sea, we cherish our Main Street history. We lean into it. We get back to basics, what drives revenue as a whole across Main Street. We build on that to create the “shopping”destination we once had, and that we are quickly losing. Easy access, bustling energy, and thriving small businesses and restaurants. LEARN MORE
Mission + Plaza Parks
Imagine parks that are true destinations for locals to get outside, stroll, bring their kids, meet friends, and hang out. With the right mix of amenities and programming, our downtown parks can become community hubs that generate their own revenue.LEARN MORE
Ventura Promenade
Our renovated and beautified promenade becomes a morning to evening destination for both locals and tourists—plenty of outdoor dining, high-end restaurants, a wellness cafe, coffee shop, casual eateries, surf + beach shops. Plus a tastefully designed luxury hotel with pool + spa—not only for tourists, but enjoyed by locals for staycations and spa days. LEARN MORE
Cultural District
Our reimagined cultural district spans from our museums to the Mission and more. We transform Figueroa Plaza into the Cultural Corridor, revitalize China Alley, and create a new space called Heritage Square, hosting historical and cultural events throughout the year. LEARN MORE
The Detour District
Centered around Front Street, this is where downtown keeps the fun going—in our own version of Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone. Hop to and from bars, breweries, live comedy, music, arcades, escape rooms, and interactive experiences—just a walk from Main Street and the Promenade. LEARN MORE
Arts District
Our unique arts district from Main Street to Ventura Avenue becomes its own destination with Bell Arts, art galleries, cultural experiences plus coffee shops, wine bars, the best Mexican food in town, and more. LEARN MORE
Fairgrounds
Easily walkable to and from Main Street and the Promenade, let’s not forget our Fairgrounds. The go-to for large events, concerts, conventions, and trade shows, as well as local traditions like the races and county fair.
