The City of Carlsbad’s historic support of arts and culture as a core value led to the establishment of its Cultural Arts Division in 1986 as part of the city’s investment in the visual and performing arts. We strive to enhance the vitality of the city and the quality of life for all residents by supporting an environment where arts and cultural organizations thrive, and people of all ages enjoy opportunities for expression and lifelong learning. All cultural arts events and programs are free admission.

Fiesta at the Rancho

Last call for early bird tickets for Fiesta at the Rancho, an evening under the stars at Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park.
Post Date:04/16/2026 3:30 PM

Celebrate local history and support student learning. There are only a couple more days to take advantage of early bird tickets for Fiesta at the Rancho at Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park. This special evening features dinner, live entertainment under the stars, a silent auction and more.

Proceeds benefit the California History & Art Program, which brings more than 1,100 local students to the ranch each year to explore art, history and nature. Students experience California’s Rancho period while walking the same grounds once used by actor and conservationist Leo Carrillo. The City of Carlsbad partners with Friends of Carrillo Ranch, Inc. to offer this hands-on learning experience.
