Cultural Plan Activity Update for July
This summer, instead of traveling, why not stay in beautiful Napa Valley? While people all over the world save up to spend a few days here, we get to live here every day. But how often do you get to experience our valley as a visitor might?
Why not try something you have been meaning to do but just never seem to find time for (ever taken a tour at di Rosa?), or discovering a new hidden gem (gone on a midnight paddle down Napa River?), or re-visiting an old favorite (seen a show at Lincoln Theater lately?)
Our new list of Honorees are here! We thank all those wonderful community members who have lent a hand in supporting arts and culture in Napa Valley. Click here to check out our Community Honorees Web page!
Sincerely,
Kristina Young, Acting Executive Director
