To celebrate the Fourth of July, we walked down the street to the Plaza and watched the old-fashioned style celebration in Sonoma. Starting at 10:00 a.m. it had marching bands, fun floats and just about anyone seemed to be able to enter the parade.
The start of the parade was very colorful 
and of course there was a fire engine 
or three, horses 
and a stagecoach, 
decorated cars, 
various floats, a blueberry producer 
passing out his crop 
and of course a wine trolley. 
I would have to say we had a wonderful time celebrating with the locals around the Sonoma plaza. 
On the historic plaza, there was live music and games all day long along with food, beer, and wine. Of course, at dusk, there was a fireworks show that seemed to go on for an hour!
After the parade, we went with Beth to a neighborhood picnic and met a bunch of folks, drank some nice wines and had burgers. All in all a wonderful celebration.
