Here are a few more intriguing events that didn't make it into our our Monday "What's happening" column

Sebastopol Walks: Walk to a Winery
Saturday, June 29, 9 am. Meet at the downtown plaza. Free.
The group will walk across the summer crossing bridge through the Laguna to the back door gate of the Balletto Vineyards winery. There you’ll meet Hospitality Director Jim Morris, who’ll be offering complimentary splashes of two different Balletto wines. Jim will explain the history of the winery and how they make their wines. Then you’ll return to the plaza via a slightly different trail. The total walking distance is a little less than 4 miles (approximately 2 hours of hiking) but if folks would like to walk only half the distance, someone will car-shuttle them back to the Plaza. Leaders: Anne and Simon Lowings.
Singing for Harriet Tubman
Sunday, June 30, 4 pm, at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, 500 Robinson Road, Sebastopol. Suggested donation: $10-20.
A performance and singalong of songs of freedom by Harmonia, the resident choir of Sebastopol Center for the Arts, directed by John Maas, with Benjamin Mertz, the leader of Joyful Noise Gospel Singers. This performance is part of the nationwide Freedom Festival, which honors the dream of Opal Lee, the civil rights activist known as the “Grandmother of Juneteenth,” that this national holiday be celebrated from Juneteenth to July Fourth, representing freedom for ALL. The festival invites people from all walks of life to bring who they are and to build together something humanizing. See all festival events at FreedomFestivalUSA.org. All funds will go to World Central Kitchen, with a portion donated to the Freedom Festival for their ongoing work.
