Designed 150 years ago by the Mexican Governor Mariano Vallejo, the Sonoma Plaza is National Historic Monument. The eight-acre park, filled with stately trees and pedestrian paths has at its center the Sonoma City Hall. Surrounding the Plaza are numerous shops, restaurants and historical sites. The charming small-town character of Sonoma continues to attract and captivate travelers from around the globe.

The Plaza is also home to numerous public events throughout the year, inlcuding the Ox Roast, Salute to the Arts, Red and White Ball, and the Cinco de Mayo Celebration. All such events are open to the general public.

On Tuesday nights, during the spring and summer, the Sonoma Farmer’s Market is held in front of city hall. Often accompanied by the music of local bands and musicians, the market is a particularly wonderful hometown event.
