In recent years, thanks to excellent lineups and more community involvement than ever, the teeming Harmony Festival has been vastly more populated than just about any other event at the fairgrounds—including the fair itself. This year should continue the trend, with headliners the Flaming Lips, Primus, Michael Franti, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, Ghostland Observatory and others. A skateboard zone returns, and artists from the Handcar Regatta add a new feature this year with the “Steampunk Garage.” Be there Friday–Saturday, June 10–12, at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. 1350 Bennett Valley Road, Santa Rosa. $45 per day or night; multi-day passes available. www.harmonyfestival.com.
