Help us make the Sonoma City Party more Sustainable
The City of Sonoma’s goal is environmentally friendly events. This year’s event encourages attendees to bring reusable cups to the event to drink out of, ride their bikes to the event and utilize the FREE bike valet, and dispose of their belongings in a responsible manner by placing items in the correct waste receptacles onsite.
All our vendors adhere to the ban on single-use plastics, and all food items ordered onsite will be served in/on compostable products. If you purchase food items at the event rest assured that items can be deposited in the composting containers. This year we are excited to be working with Green Mary who is responsible for ensuring that all of the event’s waste is sorted in a manner compliant with SB1383.
