Extravaganza is an annual campus music festival held at the University of California, Santa Barbara that began in 1979 and has been held annually since 1989, except in 2020.[1] Named as the #1 event on the "Top 10 University Festivals to Crash" by College Magazine in 2013, it takes place towards the end of spring quarter and is funded by a student lock-in fee.[2] The event is planned, promoted, and run by the Associated Students Program Board, part of the Associated Students of the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Extravaganza is held in Harder Stadium and draws thousands of students and out-of-town visitors yearly. As of 2011, the festival is only open to UCSB students, staff, and faculty. The stage occupies the north end of the field while booths for student groups, sponsors, and activities line the sides.[3] Attendees must comply with a mandatory pat down and bag search (carried out by Community Service Organization officers[4]) before entering the stadium.
