Occidental Weekender, a Field Guide to West Sonoma County
A local guide to weekends around Occidental, California, covering events, food, redwoods, rivers, the coast, itineraries, and places to stay.
Field notes
The guide combines a dated events calendar with hand-shaped two-day itineraries, then narrows the region into recurring categories such as redwood walks, scenic drives, Russian River outings, and Sonoma Coast trips. Its listings include concrete local texture: a seven-person literary open mic, an inaugural jazz festival, and Wild Flour Bread’s wood-fired sourdough and garden in nearby Freestone. Event entries link outward to organizers and carry an August 23, 2026 update date, while the site warns that times and details can change.
