Sonoma City Party, August 1, 2019 - Sonoma Plaza

23rd Annual Sonoma City Party August 1, 2019The Sonoma City Council and the City of Sonoma are delighted to present the 23rd Annual Sonoma City Party. The City of Sonoma hosts this community party to bring our local community together for fun, festivities and to celebrate our special town. A long-standing tradition, this unique event celebrates the rich history of Sonoma, its residents, businesses and non-profits. The event is free to attend and will be held at the Sonoma Plaza on Thursday, August 1, 2019, 6:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.

This Year's Entertainment Includes:

  • Sonoma's Free Spirits Gospel Choir conducted by Sonoma's 2019 Treasure Artist Cynthia Tarr
  • Dan Martin and the Noma Rocksteady Band capture a wonderfully tight and soulful brand of traditional ska, rocksteady and old school reggae.
  • Flaming O's feature world-class vocalists and players who have performed, toured and recorded with the likes of Sammy Hagar, Eddie Money, Night Ranger, Poison, Brian Setzer, and many others.  Playing music the way their heroes played music, which is from the gut, a little less processed, and a little more seat-of-the-pants, a little more exciting, crazy, and rock and roll. Bring your dance grooves and rock out to hits of the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and Today.
  • Funk Fatale Band will light up the night with a bit of funk, some disco, a smatter of pop and sultry soul mashed up to create funkalicious, fresh dance tunes.

How to Enjoy the Sonoma City Party

Bring along your picnic blankets, folding camp tables and chairs, picnic supplies, warm clothing, a flashlight, dancing shoes and you’re all set! Please note that vendors are no longer able to sell beverages in Single Use Plastic containers, this includes bottled water so be sure to bring your refillable water bottle. The Sonoma Valley Firefighters Association has generously donated two refilling stations to be onsite at the event.
