Music in <strong>Sonoma</strong> <strong>Valley</strong><br />
<strong>Sonoma</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> is a great destination for music-lovers. From indoor and outdoor<br />
performances to annual music festivals and small, intimate venues, there’s variety to<br />
choose from at any time of the year. Below are some of our favorite live music venues<br />
and experiences to discover. Check the venues and their websites for the most up-todate<br />
calendars.<br />
SMALL, INTIMATE VENUES For a flavor<br />
of local musicians and performances, <strong>Sonoma</strong><br />
<strong>Valley</strong>’s theaters and bars offer an intimate setting<br />
to appreciate music on a smaller scale. For<br />
interesting and original performances, we love<br />
the Sebastiani Theatre, a classic example of<br />
1930s theatre architecture and a cultural gem<br />
of the community. For both indoor and outdoor<br />
performances by mostly local musicians,<br />
check out the HopMonk Tavern and Murphy’s<br />
Irish Pub in downtown <strong>Sonoma</strong>, and Palooza<br />
Gastropub & Brewery and TIPS Roadside in<br />
Kenwood. All have a regular rotation of live<br />
music to enjoy while you eat or drink—both<br />
on weeknights and weekends, with indoor and<br />
outdoor offerings for each venue.<br />
COMMUNITY EVENTS For free live music,<br />
don't miss the Tuesday Night Farmers'<br />
Market on the <strong>Sonoma</strong> Plaza, from 5-8pm<br />
from May through September. Pull up a picnic<br />
blanket, grab a bite from one of the food<br />
trucks and sit back and enjoy a different band<br />
every week. In that same spirit, Fridays and<br />
Saturdays at the Fairmont <strong>Sonoma</strong> Mission<br />
Inn are quite the party, too! From March to<br />
