The Heart of Our Community Shines Again!

During Coast Village Week, the Heart of Our Community was visible in every way! The week-long celebration was filled with energy, joy, and a strong sense of togetherness, reflecting the vibrant spirit that defines Coast Village Road. Thanks to the incredible enthusiasm, support, and participation from our local community, Coast Village Week was a resounding success.

The festivities kicked off with an exciting weekend sponsored by the Rosewood Miramar, setting a perfect tone for the days ahead. The events were as diverse as they were engaging, from in-store promotions and trunk shows to fantastic specials that kept the excitement alive throughout
the week.

The Art Walk showcased the immense talent within our community and was the highlight that everyone is buzzing about. The creativity and artistic expression on display was nothing short of inspiring, making the Art Walk a wildly successful event! 

A significant part of the week’s success was the participation in the Coast Village Week Kickoff Raffle. This social media-driven contest saw over 250 submissions, with participants sharing their fun and memorable moments. Here are the lucky winners:

1st Prize: A night at Rosewood Miramar with dinner for two at AMA Sushi – Winner: Felice Peardon

2nd Prize: Shop & Sip on Coast Village Road – Winner: Amy Maloney

3rd Prize: Montecito Country Mart gift bag – Winner: Dana Hansen

We extend a heartfelt thank you to Rosewood Miramar for sponsoring the kickoff weekend with a beautifully executed Rosé Garden and a delightful Ice Cream Truck, which was a hit with both kids and adults. Their generous donation of an extraordinary Miramar experience for the Grand Raffle prize further highlighted their commitment to our community.

A fun engaging highlight was the Art Walk Extravaganza Raffle, where participants entered through traditional raffle tickets collected along the Art Walk. The grand prize, a two-night stay at the Montecito Inn with dinner for two at Sushi by Scratch, was won by Colette Nottage Crafton. We offer a monumental thank you to the owner and operator of the Montecito Inn for this amazing prize, valued at over $2,500.

Adding a touch of fun to the week was the Dog Days of Summer Photo Contest. Hosted by the Montecito Journal, this contest has captured the hearts of many, and we eagerly await the announcement of the winners in next week’s issue. The Dog Days event on Saturday, August 10th was sponsored by Village Properties and the Rosewood Miramar. This tail-wagging event led into the Best in Show event at the Miramar on National Dog Day, August 18th.

To everyone who attended and to our merchants, you made this week truly special. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate our vibrant community. Your positive energy and feedback were the driving forces behind the success of Coast Village Week’s promotions, events, and raffle contests.

We look forward to creating more memorable moments together in the future. Until then, thank you for your continued support and interest!
