Why We Live Here Musics & Arts Fest
Join us for the 3rd Annual Why We Live Here Music & Arts Fest, a celebration of the music, creativity, food, wine, and community that make Sonoma County such a special place to call home.
Set among the vineyards at Hook & Ladder Winery, this annual festival brings together an outstanding lineup of regional musicians, local artisans, food vendors, and wine lovers for an unforgettable afternoon in the Russian River Valley.
