I’m so excited that the Petaluma Downtown Association (PDA) decided to extend the Holiday Open House to a 2-day event. There will be horse & carriage rides, live music in Putnam Plaza by the Phoenix Jazz band and Tom Cordoni’s Red Suspender Band. You’ll find carolers and clowns with Rudy’s Rickshaws available to cart you to your favorite stops. Ballerinas dancing, Artists painting faces, Santas primed for pictures, caricatures, free candy canes, massages & chocolate.

The Lighted Boat Parade on Saturday evening at 6 in the Turning Basin. Shopping Crawl and ProjectHERE are helping to provide reason for buying local. WOW! It’s just going to be a blast. With so much going on, I hope you join us Downtown.
