Arrests and citations rise at Deltopia in Isla Vista

April 11, 2023

By JOSH FRIEDMAN

Authorities made 23 arrests and issued 151 citations at the unsanctioned annual Deltopia party over the weekend, according to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office.  

Deltopia lasted Friday through Sunday, taking place along Del Playa Drive in Isla Vista. Crowds at this year’s event were significantly larger than the ones at last year’s party. 

Many partygoers reportedly traveled from out of the area in order to attend. Emergency personnel responded to numerous medical incidents, particularly related to alcohol consumption. 

During last year’s Deltopia, officials received fewer emergency medical calls, and authorities only made four arrests and issued 34 citations. But, overcrowding of balconies occurred, and at least three individuals suffered significant injuries from falls at the 2022 event.

Live it up, young ones! A harsh reality is just a few short years away.

Oh lord, what “harsh reality?” You live in California? You either worked your way through college, or your parents footed the bill? Either way, the future is bright.


The unemployment rate for those who hold at least a BA is under 2%. A college graduate is likely to make at least $25k more than someone with a high school education only.
