.Apr. 1: Occidental Fools Day Parade; ‘Pubs & Roses’ Pub Crawl

Since 2004, the Occidental Fools Day Parade has celebrated all things zany, nutty and tie-dyed on or around the first of April, culminating with live music and a block party in the parking lot of the Occidental Center for the Arts. This year, “grumps and frowners may be transformed” on Saturday, April 2, starting at the Occidental Community Center (Graton Road at Bohemian Highway, Occidental; 1pm; free; 707.874.9392).
