Experience the Real Cinco de Mayo!

Though big Cinco de Mayo , there's plenty of fun to be had during the Mexican holiday--away from the bar-scene, sans Corona. (Especially if you're watching !) 

's Cinco de Mayo Fundraiser 

There's sangria on the menu for Community Café's Cinco de Mayo bash, but the real focus is on the Mexican meal, and Sonoma Valley Teen Services - which reaps the benefit of the dinner. 

All proceeds go towards supporting the Teen Services' "Skills for Life" projects, which supports activities that foster community, real-life skills and self respect, such as the Valley of the Moon Teen Center's "Lovin' Oven" baking program group and  the student group “RAD” (Respect and Dignity).

The dinner is the first "Community Night" - a series of dinners which benefit nonprofits or charities to give back to the community.

The dinner runs from 6-9 p.m., $35 per person, which includes the meal and two glasses of sangria (beer and wine for purchase). Live music.  Call for reservations at (707) 938-7779.

 Sonoma Developmental Center

The all-day event includes festive decorations, a rolling Mariachi band, visiting animals, and crafts, games and a temporary tattoo booth. Traditional food and non-alcoholic margaritas are also on deck.
