Handcar Regatta
If you missed the first annual Handcar Regatta, I'm sorry to say that you missed one of Santa Rosa's coolest events...well...ever. Though the concept was a little hard to grasp for the uninitiated, if you've ever been to Burning Man you'll get it. Steam punkers, railway antiquity, costumes, stilt walkers, fantastic inventions, music, food and general merriment.
