Additionally, the public may find plenty of food, beverages, face painting, antique fire trucks, business specials, yoga or dance demonstrations, bounce houses, plant and flower shows and more.

Featured events will include open house tours of the Sonora Volunteer Fire Museum. The family event also includes a bug zoo and a petting zoo. Local merchants and retail stores will provide one-day specials.
