What's on around here

We are one counter in one shopping center, and most of the good stuff in this town happens outside it. Here is what is coming up in Mill Valley and the rest of Marin, kept current.

01 · Upcoming

The next few months

Dates come from the organisers and we check them before they go up, but community calendars move. Click through before you drive anywhere.

Running something we should know about? Send it over and we will put it up. Free, no catch, you do not have to be a customer.

02 · Every week

Standing dates

No date to remember. These are on whether or not anybody organised anything else that weekend.

Every Sunday, 8am – 1pm

Sunday Marin Farmers Market

One of the largest farmers markets in the state, and where a lot of what ends up in our bowls is grown.

3501 Civic Center Drive, San Rafael
Every Thursday, 8am – 1pm

Thursday Marin Farmers Market

The smaller midweek one. Better for actually talking to the growers.

10 Avenue of the Flags, San Rafael
Every day

The Bay Trail out our back door

Ninety seconds from the counter to flat water and egrets. Not an event, but it is the reason half of you are here.

Strawberry Village to Bothin Marsh, Mill Valley
