We are serving coffee, tea, pan dulce, music, live performances, and more as we invite community members of all ages to share an alcohol-free space on the morning of Pride & Joy Saturday. Whether you want to engage in the program, or just sit back and relax with a free coffee and Mexican bread, we want you to have a good time in the Santa Barbara air. 

Cafecito con chisme is a community tradition for bonding and healing. Chisme sometimes has a connotation of "gossip." In practice, chisme a site of learning, safety, and guidance, especially when we have youth and elders in conversation together. 

Part of creating community is sharing time & space to connect, talk about life, and build understanding as we work toward joy for youth, elders, and everyone between. And part of it is just giving people whatever they need to sit and move slowly, to converse and laugh together about everything going on in the world. We’ve got both for you — community, and joy.
