ISLA VISTA, Calif. (KEYT) It's a University of California, Santa Barbara tradition to celebrate the first Saturday following their first week back from Spring Break.
What started as the unsanctioned Floatopia decades ago turned into unsanctioned Deltopia
But a crackdown on loud music, public intoxication and parking has led to other celebrations.
That latest is called Soltopia.
Students and the Isla Vista Community Services District worked on making Soltipia a fun alternative along The Loop.
Students graduating this year said they enjoyed the free music festival.
"At first a lot of people felt disappointed, but I feel like they really did a good job creating something that people are really excited about," said Eliza Bulanti.
"I do want to give props to the school, though, for actually creating an alternative event, because the first it was like, oh, if we just cancel it, okay, we're not going to do anything and that was kind of a bummer because we're seniors," said Anna Chmeh.
Thousands of students and residents registered for Soltopia wristbands that came with perks
The weather turned out to be picture perfect for people to enjoy the sunny Saturday.
Some students plan to continue their version of Deltopia on Sunday along Del Playa where beach access is closed this weekend.
There are unconfirmed reports that a deputy was injured in the area.
