Christmas Lights are a big event in Petaluma...it's great fun to drive around and see all the houses dressed up for the holidays.

The official self-driving tour runs from December 8 - December 27th. For map and details, send business-size SASE to Petaluma Visitors Program, Historic Depot Building, 210 Lakeville St. Petaluma, CA 94952. Or just drive around and explore on your own. Either way it's great fun!

The Sport Crab Season opened last week and the commercial season opens on the 15th....I'm looking forward to nice fresh crab in the weeks to come!

There are several boats you can take out if you want to catch your own (check out our activities page for more information)....or several great local resources I can tell you about if you just want to pick some up off of the dock!

Many of our guests really enjoy cooking right here...and of course there are a wide range of local restaurants to choose from as well...so Bon Appetit!
