I have some polite advice for the people of Healdsburg who are selling women’s clothes. I don’t wear pink glitter boots. I don’t wear overpriced silver leather jackets, or dresses where the waist sits above my bellybutton. It would be wonderful to find nice clothes that are sort of normal looking to dress up in. Not too many frills, or see through gauzy tops or faux cowgirl skirts that cost $300. Just normal, simple dress up clothes, maybe with real pockets. Thank you.

Everything about Healdsburg screams small town charm!
Amazing restaurants, unique stores, wine bars and cocktails. There's something for everyone! Plus we lucked out with a musician just singing in the park while we enjoyed local pie and ice cream. Already planning a return back!

Healdsburg plaza is a 19th-century style public square that provides an important focal point for tourists and locals. The plaza is surrounded by terrific eating, wonderful drinking, and some good shopping.
In the center of the plaza is an open air six-side gazebo to hold musical performance in the summer.
The century old redwood trees through the plaza provide plenty of shade with delightful green iron benches circling the tree base. More benches are clustered in selected areas for socializing.
Nearby, there is a granite memorial in memory of those who died in WW1, WW2, Korean War, Vietnam War, & Gulf War.
After visiting the many shops in downtown Healdsburg, I enjoyed resting at the BEAUTIFUL HAVEN … at the Healdsburg Plaza.

Clean park with plenty of benches. Most days there are musicians playing on the stage. Great for walking your dogs or just people watching. Since we were staying at Hotel Healdsburg our room faced the park. Very nice working fountain.

When you visit, you can't miss the Plaza. This is the site of concerts in the summer, and the entire perimeter is full of great eating and drinking, plus some good shopping. We have stayed at a hotel on the Plaza and it was a great location. This is just lovely.

this is a great place to hang out. Every time we go to Healdsburg we seem to end up at this park, right in the center of it all. There is usually someone playing music and my grand daughter loves the fountains

Healdsburg was a bit of our drop-off point, to discover the 2 valleys of vineyards: Sonoma and Napa
And all the "wineries" that give life to these landscapes
The small town is very welcoming, the people are kind and there is a great restaurant not to be missed: The Troubadour....

Contrary to popular opinion, I found the town a little too manufactured, a little too high end, not quite as authentic as other nearby cities. It was lovely, but it’s mostly high-end shopping, gallery outlets, expensive restaurants and lots of tasting rooms. I did find a fun vintage shop, but when looking for a light lunch almost everything seemed too formal or requiring a long service experience. Notice…if you go during the week, we went on a Tuesday, some businesses are closed. It might be that we had cute town burnout, so if ever back, we’ll look to explore more of the side streets.

It can get hot in Healdsburg. Really Hot! It's nice to have shady retreat to go to. Who doesn't like a town with an old fashioned Plaza? Thanks to the all the City Planners that respected this community, protected our sustainable green space and kept their cool as our planet continues to heat up. TIP: Find a bench to relax in between shopping, dining or venturing to the Farmer's Market.

It's the center of this small town, a pretty square with landscaping in the center and lots of shopping and eating all around. Events are held here. Also just a good place to spend some time. More upscale all the time, each time we return.

What about a plaza/square in Calistoga? We wanted to do the bike/winery tour

Two 60 yr old women that would like to leave the rental car at hotel and walk and enjoy eating and drinking in a cute plaza. Sonoma or Healdsburg? Don’t want to put all the budget in fancy accommodations, rather spend it on experiences.
Written September 14, 2019
Healdsburg plaza is quaint and beautiful just to do whatever you want to do walk around hang out eat delicious food and enjoy great drinks especially the wine. I would highly recommend Healdsburg and the accommodation is in walking distance so no need for a car. However you can always find parking and they give you a good amount of time 2 to 3 hours. They are strict on parking so make sure you are back before your time runs out.

My boyfriend challenged me to do 20 paintings in 30 days, and I did it.
I was wondering if I can display 20 paintings 10"x10" at the square, so my friends and people can hear my story and see what I did, without getting in trouble.
Thank you!
Written May 12, 2017
Probably not. The plaza has lots of events organized on the weekends including art shows. You'll need to run it by the City of Healdsburg and if you are selling your paintings you'll need to get a business permit.
