Johnson’s Beach celebrates 100th anniversary with music festivals

Johnson’s Beach

Long a favorite Russian River summer spot for Sonoma County locals and visitors alike, Johnson’s Beach celebrates its 100th anniversary this year with not one but three music festivals.

The Centennial Celebration kicks off the festivities on Saturday, June 9 with a day-long music festival featuring a lineup of high profile talent. Then, the beach’s popular Russian River Jazz & Blues Festival, previously held in the fall, expands into two separate events — the Russian River Blues Festival on Sunday, June 10, followed by the Russian River Jazz Fest on Sept. 8 and 9, with two full days of jazz, funk, and R&B music.

Located in the charming and eclectic riverside town of Guerneville in western Sonoma County, Johnson’s Beach provides the quintessential summertime river experience. In addition to boats, umbrellas, and other beach rentals, it offers a variety of lodging, including rooms in the 1920s lodge building, rustic cabins also built in the 1920s, and tent camping.
