Day in the Country from Holly Cline on Vimeo.
Saturday, October 19, 2019
10am – 5pm
Join us come rain or shine, for Los Olivos’ most highly acclaimed festival of the year, the popular Day in the Country. This special day is a wonderful opportunity for families to enjoy country living the way it used to be in simpler times. And best of all, attendance is free!
Day in the Country is our biggest event of the year – a Los Olivos tradition of celebrating our quaint country town with an early morning family fun run (you can even enter your dog!), small-town parade, over a hundred local and regional makers, crafters, artists and food purveyors, wine tastings, tractor show, and more fun for all ages, including a Beer Garden at Fig Mtn Brew and a Wine Roundup throughout downtown for adults!
This year is our town flagpole’s 100th birthday! Join us at right after the parade (around 10:45am) for a flag celebration with free cake at the flagpole in the center of town (Grande Ave and Alamo Pintado Ave).
Folks young and old come from far and wide to experience what it’s like to spend a day in the country, Los Olivos style.
Read the story about us in the Santa Ynez Valley News! See photos from last year!

Your Guide to Santa Ynez Valley
Discover the Santa Ynez Valley, where Los Olivos is located. Part of Santa Barbara’s larger wine country, it’s a small-town and rolling-hills haven of restaurants, wineries, craft beer, museums, shopping and nightlife. And don’t forget the great outdoors and all it has to offer! Check out the Santa Ynez Valley destination guide here.

It is held in the middle of town – you can’t miss it! The food and beer garden begin at 11am, and the auction is at 10am and closes at 2pm – so you have plenty of time.
