Santa Rosa Winterblast Draws Hundreds of People on Saturday Night

After several years of various setbacks, Santa Rosa celebrated Winterblast on Saturday night. The annual winter festival and decorated sofa parade drew hundreds of people to the South of A Street neighborhood. This was the 18th year of Winterblast, but the last few years have been overshadowed by wildfires, smoke, and the pandemic. Last year, pandemic-related restrictions were lifted, but a big rainstorm made for a soggy parade.
