Here’s the scoop on the second season of ¡Vamos! Al Tianguis, which doubles from four events to eight events this year, via Healdsburg Tribune news editor Christian Kallen: “The pop-up street market, held last year at the City Hall north parking lot, proved to be a surprise hit with the city as well as the community. It will return there again in 2025 every second Saturday from May to December, with a potential move to the Foley Family Community Pavilion in 2026.” (Image: ¡Vamos! North Bay)
Community members have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help well-knownHealdsburg carpenter Tracy DeuFriend make ends meet as he recovers from shoulder surgery. “Let’s rally around this long-time Healdsburg friend and help him make it through healing and recovery without the stress of how he’ll support himself and his teen Abbey,” organizers say.
It took four local agencies to rescue a dog who got stranded on the rock dam at Memorial Beach in Healdsburg last weekend. One of these agencies, the Sonoma County Fire District, posted on Facebook: “It was a tricky rescue, but our rescue swimmer suited up and, after two attempts, safely brought the pup back to shore.”
The live-music lineup just dropped for Tuesdays in the Plaza this spring and summer! I’m seeing some pretty big names on the list, like Bollywood bluesman Ali Kumar, raucous “cello-led rock-blues-bluegrass band thing” Dirty Cello and lots of great Latin groups. Shows start three Tuesdays from now, on May 27.
And the lineup for theBloodRoot Ramble music festival on the Community Center field, one of Healdsburg’s hottest summer parties, is looking pretty good, too: Organizers locked down Ziggy Marley, La Luz, Local Natives and more. Tickets cost $100-plus per day on Friday, June 6, and Saturday, June 7.
Annnd of course, Healdsburg’s crown jewel event, the Future Farmers parade and fair, is right around the corner on May 22, just two Thursdays from now. This will be the 76th annual! Details here.
The increasingly popular “¡Vamos! Al Tianguis” night marketis in full swing again for the season, too — taking over the Healdsburg City Hall parking lot on the first Sunday of each month. Stop by the next one on June 14 from 4-9pm
