Red, White and Pillow Fights

The Sonoma County Fair and Events Center is excited to announce “Red, White & Pillow Fights,” a community celebration commemorating the 250th anniversary of American independence on the 4th of July. The event will feature one of the largest fireworks displays in Sonoma County, along with family-friendly entertainment, food, music, and the return of a beloved local tradition—Pillow Fighting Championships.

Guests are encouraged to arrive early and enjoy an evening of summer fun at the fairgrounds. Gates open at 5:00 p.m., and admission is $10 per person. Come enjoy local food vendors, live music, and activities for all ages throughout the evening. The fireworks spectacular will begin at approximately 9:15 p.m.
