Sonoma County Holiday Events 2009

christmas1 Sonoma County Holiday Events 2009Tree lightings, Santa sightings, lights, carols, crafts fairs…it’s that time of year again in Sonoma County.

If you’re in Sebastopol, Santa Rosa, Sonoma, Windsor, Healdsburg, Cloverdale, Rohnert Park, Cotati, Petaluma, Bodega, Occidental, Guerneville, Kenwood, Glen Ellen, Forestville,  Monte Rio, or Geyserville, odds are good there are some sort of holiday festivities nearby.And even the Grinchiest can’t complain when the celebration is free or nearly free.

The events start about now (I know, I know, I think they should wait until the Thanksgiving leftovers are running low, too) and run through Christmas.

I’ve started a list by date of all the free or cheap Sonoma County Holiday Events (you’ll find it to your left, click on Holiday Events 2009). It will be updated continually, so check back frequently. And if you know of anything I’ve missed, email me: lisa ( at ) sonomaonthecheap.com
