The city of Cotati thinks all children deserve special attention—a day devoted just to them. And that’s what Cotati’s Kids’ Day Parade and Festival is all about. In its 30th year, this free celebration will feature a parade and festival with games, a talent show, prizes, vendors, and more. Families are encouraged to arrive in costumes (the theme is Surf’s Up). It all goes down on July 8; the parade starts at 10 a.m. at City Hall and travels through downtown Cotati to La Plaza Park, where the festival will be held 11 a.m.–3 p.m. There will also be a free pancake breakfast, 8–10 a.m., at the Church of the Oaks in Cotati.
