Ghost Village Road 2025

Montecito was all sunny for full-on fun at the annual Ghost Village Road, proving once again we are here for the treats!

Every business on Coast Village Road through to the Montecito Country Mart went all out, with their teams dressed to scarily impress while dishing out the goodies. Kids of all ages came in all manner of costumes, from 1960s airline stewardesses, pirates, Harry Potter and wizards, space teams, Dodgers teams, ballerinas, inflatables, and disco balls to dinosaurs. The streets were crowded with people, with more than three times as many attending as last year.

Kudos to the Coast Village Improvement Association for bringing in the photo booth and the haunted surrey from the Rosewood Miramar Beach. The most represented school was Montecito Union. Thanks to our first responders, Montecito Fire firefighters, and the Santa Barbara Police Department for their presence on CVR. Merrill Lynch wins best Hollywood set for its Star Wars display with life-size talking and moving figures. Richie’s Barber Shop kept the vibe going with a live DJ pumpin’ up the jam and a Pet Costume Contest for really cool prizes – more info can be found on the next page.  

We are #MontecitoProud!

Thanks to our local business owners and teams who went all out making it a fantastic experience for everyone.
