🪗 The Accordion Man Statue – Cotati’s Musical Landmark 🎶

Simba 🐾 and I stopped by Cotati, California to visit the whimsical Accordion Man Statue — a quirky tribute to the town’s deep musical roots and its love for the accordion! 🎵✨

Located in the heart of downtown Cotati, this playful sculpture perfectly captures the town’s creative and free-spirited energy. Cotati has long been known as the home of the Cotati Accordion Festival, one of California’s most beloved and eccentric music events — and the statue stands as a joyful reminder of that ongoing tradition.

🎵 A Town That Marches to Its Own Beat

The Accordion Man Statue is more than just a roadside landmark — it’s a symbol of community, music, and joy. Every August, Cotati comes alive with music and celebration during its world-famous accordion festival, drawing performers and fans from around the globe.

The statue, with its whimsical pose and larger-than-life accordion, honors that spirit of creativity. It’s a great reminder that small towns can have big personalities — and Cotati’s beats to its own rhythm.

Simba enjoyed lounging in the nearby park while I explored the area and snapped photos. It’s one of those short-but-sweet roadside stops that perfectly captures the personality of a town.
