Things To Do in Windsor, CA — August 2026
Golden-hour concerts on the Town Green, Sunday markets, and one last zucchini-fueled hurrah before the harvest season rolls in. Here’s your month, laid out date by date.
There’s a particular kind of light that settles over the Windsor Town Green in August — warm, unhurried, and smelling faintly of grilled corn and someone’s neighbor’s tri-tip. Between Thursday-night concerts, a Sunday market that never really takes a week off, and the town’s last big send-off to summer, Windsor spends the month doing what it does best: gathering everyone outside. Below is the full August 2026 calendar in order, plus a few local favorites worth building a visit around.

Windsor’s year-round Sunday market fills the Town Green with local produce, honey, baked goods, and handmade crafts from Sonoma County growers and makers. It’s the easiest way to build a lazy August Sunday around fresh food and live local energy.
