The night had a soundtrack

In 1962, the radio wasn’t background noise — it was the pulse of the street.

Every dashboard dial glowed the same amber hue.
Every car carried its own speaker.
And somehow, the whole town felt tuned to the same frequency.

This year's artwork captures that shared rhythm — the hum of engines, the flicker of neon, the way music drifted from car to car as friends circled the boulevard.

“Radio On, Windows Down” is about connection.
About the soundtrack that stitched a generation together.
And about how that same spirit still echoes through downtown Petaluma every May.
