Cotati Accordion Festival is a yearly event. The 2012 festival will be the 21st annual. The venue is open air under the oak trees of the central Cotati plaza. If you plan to stay for the whole day, bring your own comfortable folding lawn chair. You may have to find parking on the street several blocks away. Annual attendance reaches 3,000 - 5,000 a day. Whether you love 'em or hate 'em, there are plenty of those darn accordions at the festival. At the Cotati Accordion Festival the sound stage features a cast of rotating acts who play 45 minutes sets. Musical styles range from traditional Tex-Mex to whacky Rock-pop-San Francisco-mischief music. The festival is family friendly wholesome fun! If you like to dance there is a separate tent that features polka music and the like. There is also an "old timer" tent complete with washboard base were festivals goers play their favorite tunes in unison. Cruise the vendor displays. There are 100's of accordions for sale, music books, and related merchandise. Enter one of the fund raiser sweepstakes for a chance to win an accordion. Ticket sale proceeds support education for Sonoma County students.
