Authorities in Santa Barbara County are preparing for this year’s Deltopia, a weekend-long unsanctioned street party notorious for arrests, citations and hospitalizations.
The massive beachfront party takes place this coming weekend in Isla Vista, a community located immediately adjacent to the UC Santa Barbara campus.
The party, which has taken many forms since its inception, has made national headlines as thousands of college-aged adults descend on the small community and fill all available space on Del Playa Drive.
While no party has reached the chaos of the 2014 event that ended in violent riots, Deltopia usually results in several arrests and multiple hospitalizations for drug overdoses or alcohol poisonings.

The schools there disallow saying the Pledge of Allegiance because “foreign” students would be offended.
All I want are videoes
Looks like any Florida spring break.
When the Chinese balloon was flying over, a buddy said that at UT in Knoxville the kids were mooning it. My reply was “Rednecks gotta redneck”.🤠
What’s the movie where society is allowed 24 hours to break any laws including murder then the must reverse back to law abiding citizens?
The Purge?
One of the big problems on Del Playa street “ocean overlooking apartments” is that the bluffs that the houses are built on, are slowly being worn away. Some of those big houses are gonna fall into the sea.
Long time ago, whoever manages that coastline nixed the idea of building sea walls. Let nature take it’s course..they say.
They are also letting the school lagoon fill up with earth. Choking out the birds and the aquatic life in it. Let nature take it’s course. Soon it will be a wetland, then a swamp.
The same people are probably managing the forest and public lands in California. Probably why they let the forests burn in California, instead of clearing the land, and building fire breaks and roads. The state geography is slowly being let go.
If a tsunami hits Isla vista , UCSB and Isla Vista will disappear.
If that is really indicative of what goes on, it looks like fun to me if I were of that age. (I don’t know if the video was propaganda or not)
I have seen some videos of large party weekends in some places where it did not look fun at all. Looked downright trouble.
That’s the one.
Talk about madness.
And that was years ago -
