2023 Spirit of Fiesta

Jack Harwood, 19, is a Freshman at Santa Barbara City College. He is a fitness-minded student studying kinesiology and engineering. In addition to being a full-time student and dance instructor, he prides himself on his community service. During high school he volunteered for several nonprofit organizations in Santa Barbara, accumulating over 1,500 service hours.

Santa Barbara has many local dance schools that instruct students in the multi-cultural dances of Spain, Mexico, and early California. Young performers dedicate countless hours preparing for this annual event and for an honor to represent Old Spanish Days as the “Spirit of Fiesta” and the “Junior Spirit of Fiesta.” The Spirit of Fiesta leads the annual parade and embodies the vitality of Santa Barbara’s annual summer festival. The Spirit of Fiesta has come to be the visual representation of Fiesta, a goodwill ambassador to local residents and visitors alike.
