Independence Day Events in Healdsburg

“You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4th, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.” – Erma Bombeck

Healdsburg Events – There’s So Much To Do Here

“The early influences, in many ways, were in Baltimore. I was passing open windows where there might be a radio playing something funky. In the summertime, sometimes there’d be a man sitting on a step, playing an acoustic guitar, playing some kind of folk blues. The seed had been planted.” – Jerry Leiber

This quote by the late musician and songwriter Jerry Leiber doesn’t say that much about the topic of our blog post, but it caught our eye for a few reasons. The visual of a musician sitting on the stoop playing a guitar during the summer is the natural vibe that our town of Healdsburg can offer anyone. We live by the idea that you are a unique individual and can come here, be yourself and enjoy all of our unique businesses, people and sights. With that idea in mind, Healdsburg has several upcoming summer events for you to enjoy. Let’s take a look.

Visit Camellia Inn Any Time of Year

“I think if I took therapy, the doctor would quit. He’d just pick up the couch and walk out of the room.” –Don Rickles

If you’ve read our blog posts before, we think it’s fun to start with a little humor, and there’s no better person to quote than Don Rickles. He was as funny as funny can be, and he lived his whole life trying to bring joy through laughter. He completely succeeded in his profession. We at the Camellia Inn are trying to live by his hard work and dedication to a craft. Our craft at the Camellia Inn, is to bring you as much joy as possible when you stay with us. We are always trying to upgrade what we do and what we can offer you so you, your family, or your relationship can feel like you are getting everything you possibly can when you stay with us. With this in mind, we want to show you what you can expect when you stay with us at the Camellia Inn.

First, a little about our History

Our Camellia Inn which is located in the heart of downtown Healdsburg has been a staple for many years. Family owned and run, you’ll be able to rest knowing that we have dedicated our Bed and Breakfast to suit all your needs.

We promise, there’s something for everyone. https://camelliainn.com/specials-packages/

The Gardens at the Camellia Inn

Our Gardens at the Camellia Inn have been flourishing since the Lewand family took over in 1981. They were what one of the biggest proponents to why the Lewands decided to call it the Camellia Inn. More than 80 plants bloom throughout the winter on the inn’s landscaped grounds. We highly recommend that you take a self-guided tour of our property. Here you’ll be able to experience our history through beauty. You can begin this tour at the Fish Pond patio, which faces the tree-lined North Street. The Evergreen Dogwood is on your left which has the distinguishable yellow/green flowers in summer, which develop pink overtones as they mature. With its strawberry-like pods, the tree was planted to screen the side of the house. It is a very rare variety. Lucy Lewand’s sister Chris grew it from seed.

You’ll then notice an old Tulip Tree that has bloomed beautifully bringing calm joy to everyone that experiences it. You can cross over the brick patio to the right, where there are the oldest Camellias at the Camellia Inn that were planted by the doctor and his wife. The Lewands have added more than 40 additional varieties of camellias since starting the Inn. The Japanese Maple was added in 1988 as shade for the camellias. This is just a short portrait of the beautiful nature that you can find solace in when you visit us at the Camellia Inn. Please click the following link to read in more detail, everything our garden at the Camellia Inn provides. https://camelliainn.com/self-guided-garden-tour/

The Human Element” Screening

There are plenty of Healdsburg Events for you to experience, but this screening should be on your list during your trips to Healdsburg. This is a community screening partnership between the Alexander Valley Film Society and Healdsburg Center for the Arts as part of their “Artists on Climate Change” exhibit. During his four-decade career as a photographer and explorer, James Balog has focused his lens on the complex relationship between humans and nature. Human activity has now surpassed all other forces shaping our world. Balog’s work has challenged us to contemplate our place in, and responsibility to, the natural world. Balog investigates how altering the elements is in turn affecting everyday Americans right now. The Human Element features subjects who are often overlooked victims of climate change. Balog visits Tangier Island, a fishing community facing the imminent reality of sea level rise threatening their future. Yadira Sanchez and her three children in Denver, Colorado, all of whom suffer from asthma, and attend a special school for children struggling with air. Balog embeds with a Cal Fire strike team on the frontlines of the most expensive wildfire in California history. And he ventures deep into Kentucky coal country, meeting unemployed miners finding hope from a new source. Balog argues that humans are part of the whole system of nature and not apart from it. Knowing this, he finds great hope that the fifth element, the human element, can bring the whole system back into balance. If you want to be a part of this educational and important screening, then head over to the Raven’s website to find out how to buy tickets. https://ci.ovationtix.com/34924/production/1003616?performanceId=10360769

A great place to enjoy a meal isn’t a Healdsburg Breakfast spot but it’s not far and it’s a real treat. Carlos’ Country Kitchen is located in Santa Rosa. If you are into big portions and a filling menu then this breakfast choice is ideal. Carlos’ Country Kitchen isn’t a place where you go for ambiance, but it is a place to go to stuff your bellies.

Another non-Healdsburg Breakfast joint that we highly recommend is Dierk’s Parkside Café also located in Santa Rosa. There’s literally no room for pretension at this intimate neighborhood restaurant where regulars sip coffee at the bar and chat up waitresses buzzing from table to table.  Over the years, Mark Dierkhising has created a morning institution that’s popular with bed-headed kids, bike groups and in-the-know Wine Country visitors. All these individuals will suggest the Chicken Fried Steak, Huevos Rancheros and the Country Benedict whose magical powers include a warm baguette, scrambled eggs, bacon, mushrooms, oven-dried tomatoes, spinach, hash browns and Hollandaise sauce. There’s a reason why Dierk’s is one of the best breakfast spots in all of Sonoma County. We suggest heading over to their website to see the entire menu. http://www.dierksparkside.com/

The Parish Cafe

The Parish Cafe is on the top of our list for Healdsburg Breakfast spots for you to enjoy.: Do you love beignets?  If that’s all you have for breakfast, no one will fault you, since the feather-light French pastries are rolled out by hand before being quick-fried and smothered in powdered sugar. Chef and owner Rob Lippincott, pays tribute to his Louisiana heritage with New Orleans masterpieces such as Eggs Nouvelle Orleans or eggs benedict, piling poached eggs, mounds of sweet blue crab meat, silky house-made hollandaise and a scattering of shallots on crisp buttered French bread. All around, polished wood-plank tables are laden with plates of baguette po’ boys stuffed with eggs over medium, savory Black Forest ham, provolone, spinach and tomato; crawfish-andouille omelet; or shrimp and grits studded with bacon.
