Napa Valley Presents is gearing up for the inaugural Perform! Napa Valley, a showcase for performing arts, which will take place Sept. 17 to 25 throughout Napa County.
The new nonprofit, formed with the profits from the 2021 sale of the Napa Valley Opera House, is not presenting shows but rather aims to celebrate, support and inspire performing arts throughout the valley. This Perform! Napa Valley week will bring together information on events scheduled by other groups and venues during the week.
