Color postcard of the Healdsburg Water Carnival on the Russian River, Sonoma County, California, published for the Northwestern Pacific Railroad. The view looks toward the steel truss railroad bridge, strung with red and green pennants for the festival. In the foreground a large ornate parade float — a swan-shaped vessel with costumed figures — glides past crowded grandstands draped in bunting. A motorboat crosses at right. Spectators pack the riverbanks and bridge.
