1. Art Nite Opens Healdsburg's Four-Day Design Celebration (patch.com) — Healdsburg's monthly Art Nite is teaming up with the four-day Design Healdsburg festival to turn downtown into a walkable celebration of galleries, design talks, and cultural spaces.

2. Where did all the Sonoma County school board candidates go? Here's why you won't see many on the 2026 ballot (pressdemocrat.com) — Healdsburg Unified's Trustee Area 5 race won't appear on this fall's ballot because the number of candidates matched the available seat, meaning the trustee will be appointed without an election. Countywide, most school board contests are similarly uncontested, leaving several vacancies to be filled by appointment and raising concerns about civic engagement, representation, and who will guide local schools through budget and enrollment challenges.
