Authors on the Plaza - Historic Sonoma - FREE - May 3, 2025 11am-2 pm

This family-friendly free event promises you be moved, gain insight, and be entertained while you relax on the lawn under the towering trees of the eight-acre historic Sonoma Plaza.

Bring a picnic or purchase food and beverages from the many restaurants that border the square. Remember a blanket or beach chairs. A small number of folding chairs will be available on a first-come-first-served basis for those who find sitting on the ground too tricky.

Though this is a free event, registering will help us manage the event efficiently and determine how many volunteers will be required to make it as enjoyable as possible for everyone, so... PLEASE REGISTER

Also,

• No single-use plastic bottles are allowed on the Sonoma Plaza
• Attendance assumes consent to drone, video, and still photography
• Attendees will NOT be asked to show their tickets or any bar code

Sonoma residents Cathy and Chuck Williamson have graciously underwritten the cost of providing this event to our community at no charge. The Sonoma Valley Authors Festival is honored to have their support.

Readers' Books will have copies of the presenting authors' books available for sale and signing.
