Sebastopol’s summer concert series, Peacetown, is heading to the Barlow this year for a multi-stage summer music and art series every Wednesday evening from July 7 to Sept. 8. From 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., musicians will be taking the stage at the Barlow event center, as well as at Crooked Goat Brewing, Woodfour/Fernbar and Community Market.
According to an announcement from Jim Corbett, president of the Peacetown board of directors, moving Peacetown from Ives Park to the Barlow was necessary because of the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 restrictions.
The move won’t take away from highlighting the treasures of Sebastopol, the announcement said.
“In the downtown area, there will be music at People’s Music; Main Street Theater and the Hopmonk Tavern, while merchants in the footprint participate with sidewalk sales and other promotions. Festival goers can enjoy the many art galleries and walk to the world class Sebastopol Center for the Arts. Other walks include the Laguna de Santa Rosa, the Peace Garden with the Enlightenment Wheel and Patrick Amiot’s sculptures on Florence Avenue. Fine food will be available at participating restaurants with specials, and Rialto Theater will have special times for movies. Peacetown has morphed into a festival celebrating music, art, fine food, nature and our rich diverse culture.”
