Local Events

“So what’s the difference between ours and every one of the other ones? What keeps coming up is that it’s not an event where just people are drinking and shoving food into their mouths because it’s great. We have a real connection to the land that they don’t have. Healdsburg has this agricultural history that’s real and palpable, and you can feel it when you’re here.”

Jendala Day and Other Events: On behalf of the Utsch family and her friends, celebrate the life, art and positivity of Jen “Jendala” Utsch, long an energy force in Healdsburg. Includes a ceremony at 1pm in the garden and performances by Todd Bugbee’s Dead Roses. From noon to 3:30pm at Villa Chanticleer.

“Vroom! Toys on the Go,” this year’s holiday exhibition at Healdsburg Museum, features toy vehicles collected by the late Steve Castelli and a model train display from Wayne Padd. Continues only through Jan. 19 and definitely worth a visit, Wednesdays through Sundays, 11am to 4pm. 221 Matheson St.
