Cotati

Cotati is one of the more underrated towns in Sonoma County, and part of what makes it special is that it knows exactly what it is. Sitting right next door to Rohnert Park and an easy drive to San Francisco, it offers the convenience of a larger area with the soul of a small town. The hexagonal downtown plaza, one of only two in the entire country and a California Historical Landmark, is surrounded by local cafes, bars, and a genuinely fun nighttime scene. The Cotati Accordion Festival each August fills the plaza with music, food, and a community spirit that is completely unique to this place. Sonoma State University is just minutes away, lending the town a creative and youthful energy that keeps things lively year-round.
