Event Details

The 23rd Art & Garden Festival, one of Petaluma’s most cherished summer traditions, is a vibrant, family-friendly celebration of creativity, community, and local flavor, drawing crowds of over 15,000 people to historic downtown Petaluma to enjoy art, music, food, and fun.

Explore more than 100 handpicked art exhibitors offering unique, high-quality, handmade goods—from garden and home décor to artisan jewelry and fine art. Live music will fill the air from two stages, while local wineries, breweries, distilleries, and restaurants serve up delicious tastes of Sonoma County and beyond. Gardening experts will be available to share tips specific to local needs and conditions. The Children’s Corner features jump houses, face painting, and free hands-on arts and crafts.

The festival takes place on Kentucky Street, Fourth Street, B Street, and the A Street parking lot. Festival Headquarters will be located at the Petaluma Historical Library & Museum Garden Court, 20 Fourth Street.

Admission is free, with tasting packages available for sampling the amazing variety of wine, craft beer, cider, cocktails, and more.
