The first weekend in June is becoming unofficially known as Ramble Weekend, as BloodRoot Wines continues its quixotic effort to make Healdsburg a waystation on the alt-rock circuit. Scheduled just two weeks after “the other BR,” Bottle Rock, the one-day-plus music festival will again take over the extensive lawn at Abel de Luna Community Center on Saturday, June 6.

Ongoing Edge Esmeralda Starting Saturday, May 30, and running through June 27, the annual gathering “for people building a brighter future” takes place at various locations in Healdsburg. It will involve at least 500 people in workshops, breakout groups and community experiments taking place throughout the...
