River Rats
Back in the day, long before highways and cell phones, the Petaluma River was a bustling commercial waterway—a piece of Petaluma’s history that Rivertown Revival celebrates with zeal. Want to join in on the fun? Watch creatively designed, human-powered vessels traverse the river during the Nautical Mass or listen to a diverse array of live music—everything from contemplative folk to Dixieland jazz and Celtic melodies. There’ll be plenty of activities just for the kids, too, and a Parents Tent, where you can bring a wee one to nurse or change a diaper. The event will be held on July 14, 11 a.m.–8 p.m., at Steamer Landing Park in Petaluma. Tickets are $5 for kids and $15 for adults, and may be purchased via rivertownrevival.com.
