Deltopia Restrictions and Safety Measures to Impact Isla Vista and UCSB Residents in April

UC Santa Barbara (UCSB) has partnered with local authorities to implement safety measures for the first weekend of April. This is in response to an annual event, previously known as Deltopia. Restrictions will be enforced in the university, Isla Vista, and nearby areas from April 5-7. Overnight visitors will not be allowed in university housing.

UCSB has organized events to engage students in approved activities. A concert, exclusive to UCSB students, will be held at the UCSB Events Center on April 6. The Isla Vista Spring Festival will also occur on the same day at Little Acorn Park.

The district will use social media and direct outreach to inform about available resources. These include safety escorts, local rules, and the spring festival. Public restrooms will be open across Isla Vista, and support services will be available.

Beaches near the campus will be closed from April 5-7. This aligns with Santa Barbara County's closure of Isla Vista beaches. The aim is to maintain public health and safety and manage waste.

UCSB will also enforce parking restrictions and establish traffic safety checkpoints. Unauthorized vehicles will be denied access and may be fined or impounded if parked overnight without permission. These restrictions will be relaxed during business hours. Traffic flow may be affected, with possible road closures as determined by the Sheriff’s Department.
