Yes, the holiday season 2024 is upon us. Starting with Thanksgiving it will be a merry ride filled with festive occasions for anyone with the desire to “Deck the Halls.” Every community has its own offerings and for the price of the gas in your tank you can partake. Some events do require tickets (look on the internet for that information), but most do not. Starting in Anderson Valley the following is a list from 16 different towns within a hundred mile radius, many much closer than that.

Thanks for the info. What struck me: all the events on the Coast taking place on Dec. 7. Special events w/ the same time 10am until later. Some at night, but most towns, daytime. Where? Anderson Valley, Ukiah, Point Arena, Fort Bragg (no name change please), Mendocino and at the end, Elk. So do Point Arena, then Elk, then Anderson Valley…. No problem
