If you’re a traditionalist when it comes to American Independence Day, then the place to be this July 4th is downtown Sonoma. From the morning parade around the plaza to the evening fireworks above a nearby park, it’s a full day of small-town celebration Sonoma Valley style.

Many local residents hold fireworks viewing parties or picnics while others join the fun at the General’s Daughter, a beautiful vintage house where Ramekins Culinary School hosts their annual Fourth of July BBQ. They have an unmatched view of the aerial spectacle paired with American comfort food favorites, and plenty of wine of course! Contact Ramekins for tickets or details at 707-933-0450.
