SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – With the revealing of the 2024 Old Spanish Days poster, it finds a place with some iconic images that reflect Santa Barbara's look dating back 100 years.

Many of the posters are stored at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum and at the Old Spanish Days office in the Carriage and Western Heritage Art Museum in Santa Barbara.

The posters appearance changed in 1976, the bicentennial year. That was developed by then-El Presidente Rudy Castillo. After that, the posters were created by the event's El Presidente for the year in coordination with an artist.
