Join us for WinterBlast, the SOFA art neighborhood’s annual street festival on Saturday, November 17, 2018 from 5 to 9:30 pm. There will be food, family fun, musicians, entertainers, the SOFA parade and lots of art. FREE!

SOFA is an arts neighborhood in Santa Rosa, California with approximately 40 artist studios, some galleries, small and locally owned shops and great places to eat.

WinterBlast is the largest event held by SOFA each year (think of it as the poor man’s Mardi Gras). The center piece of the celebration is a sofa parade. You are welcome to create a sofa for the parade, it needs to be mobile and not gas-powered. Typically, people push the sofas through the short parade route. Parade sofas should line up on A Street near Juilliard Park, no later than 5:30 on Saturday, November 17. The street will be blocked off by 5, so plan ahead. There are two parades during the event. The first parade starts at 6 pm.
