HIGH RIO
High Rio 2026 isn’t just a grassroots music festival — it’s a Russian River fever dream stitched together with guitar strings and sunbeams. Day 1 is for the music: guitars ringing through the redwoods, food crackling on the grill, kids running wild in the grass, the whole town humming like somebody spiked the sunshine.
Bare feet, cold drinks, dancing with strangers, maybe a little smooching under the trees — the whole glorious mess of summer in Monte Rio, exactly how it oughta be.
Day 2, we take it to the water: a community rafting trip down the Russian River, floating slow with your people, laughing too loud, waving at the banks like river royalty while Sasquatch himself lurks nearby — hairy, mysterious, and probably holding a beer.
It’s music, it’s community, it’s small-town magic with a little fog on it. Every ticket helps keep the spirit alive. Every song, every paddle stroke, every sunburnt smile is a love letter to Monte Rio. So grab your crew, your weird aunt, your river shoes, your tambourine, and your best feral energy and head down to The Monte Rio Theater & Extravaganza.
High Rio’s calling, and we ain’t leaving no voicemail.

Say Goodbye to the Bridge!
How often do you get the chance to race a wine barrel down the Russian River?
Before Healdsburg’s historic railroad bridge disappears, we’re bringing back a piece of local river history for one unforgettable send-off: the Goodbye Bridge Wine Barrel Race!
Race solo. Race with a team. Decorate your barrel. Cheer from the sidelines. Or just come down and get your photo taken on a stationary wine barrel with the old bridge in the background—before it’s gone for good.
