What to do in Occidental


Picture
Fridays 4pm to 8pm, 5/13- 10/28
Friends and neighbors, we’ve missed you! We’re excited to welcome you back for the 2022 Market season, starting Friday, May 13th!  Some people think Friday the 13th is unlucky, but for us it’s a date filled with magic and new beginnings. We’re excited to welcome our wonderful community back to the market. Can’t wait to see you there!

Occidental Center for the Arts (a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization) provides diverse, high-quality arts and cultural events for west Sonoma County and our neighboring communities. Housed in a newly remodeled performing venue with superb acoustics and an adjacent exhibition gallery, OCA works to enrich the lives of local residents through diverse cultural performances, exhibitions, events and classes that inspire, educate and entertain.

​Under the inspired direction of Gage Purdy, we offer a unique blend of original compositions and contemporary and classical songs from outside composers, plus some poetry and theatrics, to highlight themes that unite us all. They include caring for an aging parent, social and political injustice, environmental warriors, personal responsibility, airport security announcements, the diaspora of refugees... even raccoons! And you won’t want to miss our rendition of Smash Mouth’s ‘All Star’ as an English madrigal!

We are the West County Ukulele Club. We meet every third Thursday of the month at the Union Hotel in Occidental. Meetings are open to all levels of player interested in sharing their skills and adding to their ukulele experience. We usually gather to eat in the dining hall at six. Meeting starts at seven.
