Things to Do in Sebastopol, CA
July 2026
Fireworks over the ballfield, free concerts on the grass, classic cars on Main, and a farmers market that feels like the whole town showing up at once. Here is your small-town summer, one beautiful Sonoma County month at a time.
There is no better time to fall for Sebastopol than July. As summer settles over the orchards and the Laguna de Santa Rosa, this little town leans all the way into red, white, and blue, from a hometown Independence Day blowout to laid-back live music inside a 120-year-old timber tavern.
Below you will find real, happening-this-July events, listed in date order so you can plan your week at a glance. Most are family-friendly, plenty are free, and a few are worth grabbing tickets for early.

“Resist and Persist” at Sebastopol Center for the Arts
