The festival takes place Saturday, August 16 and Sunday, August 17 from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. both days in La Plaza Park which is located at 60 West Cotati Avenue, Cotati. Tickets are $15 advance, $17 at the gate and $25 for both days with kids 15-and-under free with a paying adult. This multi-cultural, multi-generational musical extravaganza will feature over 20 performance acts, food, drinks and some of the best accordion music in the country. Along with such staples as the Lady of Spain ring and Beer Barrel Polka rendition, event goers will be treated to the sounds of The Great Morgani, the Steve Balich Sr. Polka Band, Tian Jianan, the Mad Maggies, and so many more. The event is part of the local tradition of Cotati with the statue of local musician and founder of the festival, Jim Boggio, gracing the corner of La Plaza Park. The festival now is much as it was originally with the same format lasting throughout the years. Using two stages allows for continuous music and entertainment throughout the day. Vendors of all types are on hand with food, drink, and a wide range of accordion related products. For more information Phone 707-664-0444 |
