Sonoma County’s Tolay Fall Festival date moved, Code Blue Charity Ride canceled

As a result of the fires, many planned outdoors events for Sonoma County this week have been canceled or postponed. Others are still happening, hoping to provide a respite in places unaffected by fire.|

Note: Many outdoors activities and parks events for this week have been canceled because of damage caused by the fires in Sonoma County, access issues, the presence of smoke and the availability of staff. For the most up-to-date information on specific outdoors events, see park and event websites.
