Santa Barbara County officials move to curb Deltopia with short-term noise ordinance

Annual unsanctioned spring break rager draws thousands of college students.

- BRITTNY MEJIA

The future of Deltopia, an annual unsanctioned street party that draws thousands of college students and is often marked by chaos and arrests, is uncertain after Santa Barbara County supervisors approved a 72-hour ban on amplified music that would coincide with the event.

During its Jan. 13 board meeting, the supervisors unanimously approved the ban, which would fall on the first weekend of UC Santa Barbara’s spring quarter, when thousands of college students flood Isla Vista for Deltopia.

The vote came after a presentation from local authorities, who cited the dangers of Deltopia over the years, including two deaths, a 2013 balcony collapse, a riot the following year that lasted several hours and multiple alcohol overdoses.

The Santa Barbara Independent reported that the supervisors will vote on a second and final reading of the ordinance on Jan. 27.
