~ Sonoma's Local Heroes Honored on July 4th ~
Sonoma's Fourth of July parade is legendary. The parade starts at 10am and circles Sonoma's 8-acre central plaza. It's the biggest annual event in our town of 10,000 residents---a family tradition for many who live here. Thousands of people come to town for Sonoma's July 4th Parade every year. Seating is set up around the plaza by early birds the night before.
The parade is open to participation by anybody who applies for a spot. Applications should be made by Friday July 1st but even late comers can take part if they get their applications in before the parade starts on the 4th. You can download an application at the Sonoma Community Center website.
After the parade, food booths draw the crowd into Sonoma Plaza and great bands provide live music throughout the afternoon. At dusk, people converge on the lawn at General Vallejo's home...to watch one of the best fireworks displays in the Bay Area.
If you've never enjoyed the fourth of July in Sonoma, think about joining us this year for a celebration you'll never forget. This year we honor our many local heroes---miliary and civilian leaders who have dedicated their lives to making the world a better place. I will be there to show my love and respect.
