The Sonoma Plein Air Festival returns September 14-19, 2026.
Celebrate the arts in the heart of Sonoma Valley!

We are excited to invite you to our Gala on
Friday, September 18 at Hanna Center in Sonoma.

This year’s theme, Be Part of the Art, celebrates the idea that all of us—artists, teachers, families, businesses, and community members—play a role in keeping art education alive and thriving for Sonoma Valley K-12 students. 

The Gala is the night before our annual Art Show and Sale in Sonoma Plaza, which wraps Festival week. At the Gala, meet our 2026 artists and preview their favorite works of the week, on display for auction.
