Details from SCBC:

Sunday, August 22nd, Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition presents the first-ever Northern California Bike Expo. The event is a bike swap with great individual and business vendors selling new and used bikes, parts, gear, clothing, and bike-related arts and crafts.  AND, it’s a festival, featuring live music, performances, and fabulous food vendors.  It’s in beautiful Juilliard Park in Downtown Santa Rosa from 11a.m – 4 p.m. The Expo is the finish for the Nimble Break the Cycle Ride, a benefit for the Sonoma County YWCA and Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition.

Join us as a vendor!  Whether you’re a hobbyist bike builder, a vintage parts collector, a custom bike togs tailor, a bike shop, a maker of the newest slick gear – if you’re bikey, you belong at the Northern California Bike Expo. Non-vendor exhibitors are welcome, too – it’s a great opportunity to reach your target audience, or a new audience.

Vendor registration details available on SCBC website.

The Dolores Park swap loosely organized. 10am is the official start time, but some sellers may be setting up early. to sell, just show up with a blanket and some stuff to flip. to buy, bring cash monie$.You might want some PBR and sunglasses, since you are at DP.

The last one was set up on the main concrete walkway that leads to the bathrooms from 19th street and Dolores. but previous swaps were just on the grass. I’d say its likely to be on the concrete again?
