A Place for Community
About
Welcome to Gather Petaluma! — an inclusive community home for connection, music, creativity, wellness, and civic life. Gather Petaluma is being built by, for, and with the people of Petaluma and Sonoma County on an historic five-acre campus, carrying forward decades of inclusion, neighborly care, and commitment to justice. Gather is just beginning, but already offers programming through a number of community partners as well as it's own community events such as the monthly Gather Up! The Gather Campus offers meeting rooms, a teaching kitchen, classes, a music venue, performance spaces, and simply a place to belong and feel safe.
Details on reserving space for classes and events, along with a full community calendar, are coming soon. Join our mailing list to stay informed, or reach out with any questions here.
