Don’t forget… only 4 more West End Summer Bocce nights.

Programs and events offered by the City of Santa Rosa:

So much to do- and all of it close by! It’s the peak of Summer- enjoy the weather and all the delightful events offered in Downtown. As always- you can join your friends and neighbors EVERY Friday at DeMeo Park for West End Bocce and you can “Wine Down” every Thursday at D’Argenzio Winery.

Pace yourselves because it’s a busy Summer. Everyone loves West End Summer Bocce at DeMeo park every Friday evening. The hardest thing, of course, is deciding what other events to go to- there’s so many and they are all within walking distance.

Late June events:

Gorgeous days but chilly nights. Don’t let that stop you… just bring layers and carry on.
