Environmental Defense Center TGIF

For nearly three decades, EDC’s tgif!s have been a staple of the south central coast’s summer season. The EDC team is very excited to bring our community together again in our downtown courtyard in summer 2026.  Known as one of the best happy hours in Santa Barbara, tgif! features live music, refreshing beverages, and local food vendors. tgif! is a great gathering of regional nonprofit and environmental organizations, elected officials and good people from throughout the south central coast. EDC is joined at each tgif! by four nonprofit partners who are present to speak with the audience about their current work and how we can all engage.
