Every July, the Art & Garden Festival takes over Historic Downtown Petaluma to celebrate art, gardens, music, food, and local flavor. Festival-goers over 100 hand-picked exhibitors featuring artisan crafts, fine art, jewelry, garden art and décor, plants, home goods, and unique creations from talented artists and makers.
Attendees are invited to sip local wines, craft beer, cider, and handcrafted cocktails while enjoying delicious offerings from local food vendors, dancing to live music, or relaxing and soaking up the festive atmosphere with family and friends.
Gardening experts are on hand to share tips on everything from growing vegetables in adobe soil and organic gardening to creating pollinator-friendly landscapes and beautiful outdoor spaces.
Art lovers can spend the day discovering one-of-a-kind treasures while meeting the artists behind their work. From fine jewelry and leather goods to paintings, ceramics, sculpture, and garden art, there's something for every home, garden, and budget.
Music is a big part of the experience throughout the day, with performances on two stages featuring energetic local favorite bands and acoustic acts that keep the festival atmosphere alive from start to finish.
