Courthouse Square is a vibrant, historic hub in the heart of Santa Rosa. This central plaza has undergone various transformations over the decades, but has remained a gathering place for the community. The square hosts a variety of free summer events, including outdoor movie screenings on a massive TV screen with surround sound. During these events, the city blocks off the streets, allowing attendees to bring their own chairs and blankets to enjoy the films. The atmosphere is lively, with the aroma of food from nearby restaurants wafting through the air. Despite some minor distractions, such as people walking in front of the screen, the movie-viewing experience is generally positive. The city has done a commendable job with the planning and organization, providing ample, affordable parking just around the corner. In addition to the summer movie series, Courthouse Square also hosts other community events, such as the TransACTION Day of Change, a call to action to end violence against transgender individuals. The historic old courthouse building, which has been rebuilt several times, adds to the square's charm and significance. Overall, Courthouse Square is a beloved, vibrant space that celebrates the heart of Santa Rosa's history and community. Whether enjoying a movie under the stars or simply taking in the sights and sounds, visitors are sure to find the square a welcoming and enjoyable destination.
Oktoberfest 2024! What fun and my first time here. I’ve been to the one in Munich and - while RWC is much smaller - it had a great authentic German feel, food and beer! The band was great and everyone had a great time.
