Join us April 15 & 16 for North Bay’s favorite hometown festival: The Apple Blossom Festival
‘Que for a Cause! BBQ Smokehouse & Catering Community Events
65th Annual Sebastopol Apple Blossom Festival April 16 & 17
Don’t miss the parade! It starts promptly at 10am on Saturday, April 16th at Analy High School, moves south on Main and ends at Calder Ave. Stake out your sidewalk early!
General admission to the festival is just $10 with discounts for seniors and students; children 10 and under are free. That’s a deal just for the music (10 bands on Saturday and 6 on Sunday)! Stop by the booth for your favorite barbeque while you’re there (or pick up a family-size barbeque dinner and bring it along!)
Sponsored by the Sebastopol Chamber of Commerce. The bulk of proceeds from Festival entry fees go right back into the fund for next year’s event with a portion set aside to fund the Sebastopol Visitor’s Center and Chamber of Commerce and their efforts to promote awareness of Sebastopol businesses and encourage all of us to support our local economy by spending local. More Apple Blossom Festival.
Upcoming (2011) Public Tastings & Benefits
Stryker Sonoma 9th Anniversary Party Southern Blues & BBQ ~ Saturday May 14 Okay, this is not a benefit but boy howdy it is some party… And tickets sell out fast!

Save Sturgeon’s Mill! ~ May 21 & 22 Considered one of the last great mills of its kind, this mill has survived since 1914. It was originally built in the 1880s on the Korbel property near the Russian River. The mill was moved again to its current site in Occidental in 1924. The Sturgeon’s Mill Restoration Project is dedicated to restoring the historic steam powered lumber mill to its original condition of running on live steam. Demonstration Days at the mill are living history at its finest, with volunteers on hand to teach about early California lifestyles and folkways. And seeing that big mill wheel go around is something you won’t soon forget! Check out the details here.
Check back! Event contact info and new events will be added regularly.
