List of Sonoma County events canceled because of local fires

In the wake of fires sweeping Sonoma County this week, many previously scheduled events have been canceled or postponed, either because the venues have been destroyed or because the venues have been converted to evacuation centers.

Other events have been canceled or postponed because participants have been evacuated from their homes, or simply out of respect for those coping with the crisis. If you've prepaid for an event, check event websites for the most up-to-date information on refunds and rescheduling.
