Festival season is one of our absolute favorite things about living in Marin. There’s just something so special about these celebrations—the music, local makers, the food, sunshine, and that feeling of everyone coming together.
We picked 6 festivals that feel especially worth planning around this year, from longtime favorites to fun seasonal traditions: waterfront art fairs, summer concerts, and street celebrations.
Whether you’re mapping out your calendar or simply looking for a reason to get out, these are definitely the dates we’d save without thinking twice!
A Music Festival For Pets and Their People
Equal parts music festival and dog-lover dream day, Woofstock is one of Marin’s most joyful spring events. Expect live music, local vendors, food trucks, rescue groups, and plenty of furry faces enjoying the sunshine right alongside you.
A Marin Classic Full of Music and Community
This beloved Fairfax tradition brings the whole town to life with a parade, free live music on three stages, arts and crafts, family activities, and that laid-back small-town energy everyone loves. It’s one of the happiest weekends of the summer.
A Festive Weekend Downtown
Set along Grant Avenue, this lively Novato favorite mixes local art, live music, wine and beer, and plenty of food in a fun, walkable downtown setting. It’s easy, upbeat, and perfect for a sunny summer afternoon
The Most Magical Stage in Marin
There’s nothing quite like seeing live theater on Mount Tam. This year’s production of The Wizard of Oz brings music, sweeping views, and picnic-on-the-hillside charm together for one of Marin’s most iconic summer experiences.
📅 Add to Calendar - June 13-14
Summer Fun with a Little Nostalgia
From carnival rides and fair food to fireworks, live music, and themed exhibits, the Marin County Fair is summer at its best. This year’s “Stars, Stripes & Stories” theme adds an extra layer of celebration to one of the county’s most loved traditions.
Art Beneath the Redwoods
Set in beautiful Old Mill Park, this longtime local favorite feels both elevated and easygoing. Stroll through booths from talented artists and makers, listen to live music, and soak up one of Marin’s prettiest fall weekends.
