2019 Sonoma County Outdoor Summer Concert Guide

We always think of summer as vacation time - time to play! And one of the spectacular benefits of living in Sonoma County is that we are home to amazing musicians who love to play music for their neighbors! Weather is good - venues vary from arks to concert arenas - food is available for those who just want to sit and relax - dance floors about for those who can't help themselves but have to MOVE! It's everything we want for summer fun. And some of these concerts even benefit good causes! Win/Win for everyone! 15 venues with live music all summer long for FREE or under $25 a ticket.

Funky Fridays

Adults $10, 5:30p, 389 Casa Manana Rd., Santa Rosa, 707-833-6288, funkyfridays.info

This is your chance to DANCE all summer long, or relax on a blanket and eat fine food from our Food Trucks. This is a benefit to support local projects that we believe support our parks and community.
