Free Bus Rides for Holiday Shopping

The City of Sebastopol, in partnership with the Sebastopol Area Chamber of Commerce and Sonoma County Transit are pleased to provide free bus rides on Saturdays between December 4th and the Christmas holiday on Route 24. Route 24 is the local route that serves all of downtown Sebastopol as well as areas north and south of downtown.

Please take advantage of this opportunity to avoid the traffic and parking downtown, share a ride with a neighbor, meet a new friend and support our local businesses this holiday season. Ride it just for fun to see what it's like - take the kids!

Here's a link to the map and schedule.

Parking
And if you prefer to drive, there will be free parking in the lot behind the Chamber office until after the holidays. Just don't park in a reserved spot. Easy for holiday shopping and dining.
