A shining example of Sonoma’s classic small-town celebrations, the annual Fourth of July parade and festival on the Plaza drew locals out as early as 6 a.m. and kept them entertained
until the late-night fireworks. As sweet and All-American as apple pie, the family-friendly festivities ranged from barbecued goodies and live music to games, face painting, local booths and of course, the beautiful showcase of Sonoma’s community members in the Fourth of July parade.
