Events
Grape to Glass, sonoma county ca.
This annual event is hosted in August by the Russian River Valley Winegrowers association throughout the picturesque wine country in Northern California.
occupy oakland peaceful protests, oakland ca.
I share this Occupy Oakland visual story under my events page because the world we live in is diverse with many challenges and facets. I find beautiful stories where ever I travel: whether that be in the form of a lush travel log, humanitarian causes, or public outcry. What I find beautiful in human-nature, is that we are connected by our mutual respect for one another.
Arlington west, Santa monica ca.
Arlington West memorial held every Sunday in Santa Monica, Ca. organized and funded by the non-profit group Veterans for Peace.
Local Farmers Market, santa rosa ca.
Every Sunday of the month the Veterans Memorial farmer's market hosts one of the largest bounties of what farmers and food artisans have to offer.
Sonoma valley green music festival, sonoma ca.
Emmy Kaplan created this Sonoma based event to highlight local artists, and connect the community through music.
Festival of Balloons, Tigard, OR
The festival starts before dawn as the balloons arrive, set up, and start to fill and take brave folks on an adventure at sunrise. The balloons certainly take center stage in the morning but the afternoon and evening shift into carnival style fair, evening balloon lights, and music performances. Your ticket and wristband can be used in the morning and would give re-entry for the evening shows if you decided to leave and come back.
Wooden Shoe Farm Tulip Festival, Woodburn, OR
An annual festival of tulips with carnival fare, wood carving lessons, games, and rides for children. Festival goers are able to walk the grounds and explore the farm and view the colorful display of tulips. There's also a garden center area to purchase fresh cut tulips and buy bulbs for your own garden.
