CLOVERDALE, Sonoma County — The Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce has listed the community’s Winter Festival for Friday, December 4, 2026, from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., providing a date for families and local businesses planning the start of the holiday season.
The Chamber’s community and event calendars advertise an evening of holiday activities and neighborhood gatherings. The event is part of a seasonal downtown tradition associated with local shopping and public celebrations.
Planning an evening downtown
As of the published Chamber listings, the festival is scheduled for December 4; visitors should review the final program for the exact activity locations, performances, accessibility arrangements and weather-related updates. California58 is not assuming that activities from previous years, such as a tree-lighting or specific musical acts, have been confirmed for 2026 unless they are included in the current organizer’s program.
Local downtown merchants can also benefit from the gathering as residents combine an evening celebration with visits to cafes, shops and restaurants. Anyone wishing to volunteer, support the event or organize a group visit should contact the Chamber through its official website rather than rely on forwarded social posts.
The Chamber lists another Cloverdale Wine Walk on Saturday, December 5, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., offering a separate downtown event the following day. The two events have different schedules and should not be confused.
