1st Annual State Street Nationals
Santa Barbara, CaliforniaSunday, May 18, 2014
Santa Barbara, California came alive to the sights and sounds of a new show, the 1st Annual State Street Nationals. This show took the place of the Wheels and Waves Car Show which ended its' long run due to the death of one of the primary organizers. State Street was packed with 320 classic cars, hotrods and muscle cars on Sunday, 5/18/14.
The State Street Nationals covered over ten solid blocks, which in Santa Barbara are quite long; in addition to the cars there were two great bands and lots of vendors. Even though this show was the 1st Annual, it felt like it was a well seasoned event; kudos to the car show planning committee for their organizing skills as well as allowing more than adequate space between vehicles. With massive crowd participation this made it much easier for the public to see each car from all perspectives. The weather was perfect, the setting couldn’t get any better and the car show itself was fantastic. Mark your calendar now for next years’ show, May 16-17, 2015....see you there!
