The Napa Valley Weekender
May 9, 2025
Local. Independent. Funded by you.
This is our version of a pledge drive.
For the next two weeks, all content is behind a paywall — including our usual free Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday stories.
We’re doing this to remind you: Napa Valley Features runs on reader support. No ads. No corporate owners. Just real local stories.
We’ll return to our regular mix of free and subscriber-only content on May 23.
If you’re already a paid subscriber — thank you. If not, now’s the time. Help keep independent journalism alive in Napa Valley.
Today’s photo gallery features images captured in and around Zion National Park.
NAPA VALLEY, Calif. — Welcome to the Napa Valley Features Weekender, your guide to local events and experiences. Each Friday we deliver a Scan and Plan format organized by town, with concise summaries and links to simplify your planning. This edition includes valley-wide events, this month's night-sky highlights and volunteer opportunities, offering options from free to affordable to suit a range of interests. New events since the last issue are marked (N) while recurring ones are tagged (R) for easy reference.
