About the Event
The 3rd annual Santa Barbara Surf Film Festival is set to take place June 9th & 10th at the historic Lobero Theatre in beautiful downtown Santa Barbara, CA.
#SBSFF2023 will celebrate Santa Barbara’s rich surf history and diverse storytelling styles of filmmakers, artists, shapers and surfers who started it all. Our festival will showcase captivating surf cinema from incredible film directors, creatives, and surfers to feature a fantastic lineup of classic and cutting-edge feature films.
A highlight of our 2023 event will be the outdoor Surf Film Festival Block Party which will host a variety of surf exhibitors, local artisans, all-day live music, bomb food & artisanal drinks.
In line with our mission to protect and conserve our oceans, we have partnered with three important and inspiring non-profits, Heal the Ocean, Surfrider Santa Barbara & The Surf Happens Foundation.
