Farmers' Market Series to Showcase Sonoma Students & Schools

Back to School @ the Market will celebrate students, teachers, and schools in September

We're excited to announce a whole new way to celebrate our schools and students!

Back to School @the Market will showcase students and schools throughout September. The month-long series at Sonoma’s Tuesday Night Market will expand and reimagine the Red & White Ball, long known as a one-night event to support public education.

Each week will feature a specific theme with interactive student presentations and exhibits — brought to you by SVEF. Mark your calendars for September 9, 16, 23, and 30, and stay tuned for program details.

The new collaboration between the market, the City of Sonoma, and SVEF is the next evolution of the Red & White Ball's transformation into a community celebration in the wake of the COVID pandemic.

“The shift to a community-centered event was received with tremendous enthusiasm,” said Carroll. “With this exciting new partnership, SVEF is expanding to a month-long celebration and giving our students and educators even more opportunities to connect with the public.”

SVEF will coordinate programming for the free series and provide information about how the community can get involved and support local students and schools throughout the year. Further specifics of the program lineup will be announced this summer.
