The story

Sebastopol Apple Blossom Festival in Sebastopol

The Sebastopol Apple Blossom Parade and Festival is a late-April two-day event in Sonoma County, organized by the Sebastopol Chamber of Commerce and reaching its 80th annual edition in 2026. Centered on a Main Street parade and Ives Park festivities, it celebrates the region's historic apple-growing identity with a blues music stage, wine and craft beer, an art show, and family activities, timed to the spring apple blossom bloom rather than the fall harvest.

It has a specific agricultural-season identity in Sonoma County.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Sonoma County's apple-growing history runs deep, and Sebastopol in particular built its identity around the Gravenstein apple variety, making a springtime festival timed to the blossom, rather than the more commonly celebrated autumn harvest, a distinctive choice highlighting the growing season itself over the final product

02

The mystery stays covered

Reaching its 80th annual edition places its founding in the years just after the Second World War, giving it a run of continuity uncommon even among long-established regional festivals

03

The city starts moving

Its Apple Blossom Blues Festival stage, curated with local radio station KRSH, adds a recognizable musical identity to what could otherwise be a generic spring street fair, and its wide media reach reflects its status as one of Sonoma County's most attended annual two-day events
