The weekend is coming, here’s some cool things to check out!

It is back on Wednesdays from 4-8pm.

This is a massive annual event at the Marin County Fairgrounds. Dancing, food, music, but also some things you don’t see anywhere else, like falconry and sheep herding. 10-6, $30 for adults, $15 for kids.

Imagine Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson as modern women in a post-pandemic world. This runs for the next month at the Barn Theatre at Marin Art and Garden Center. Various dates and times, $45 for adults.

There’s a small coffee stand in Tam Junction doing big things. They are bringing in a DJ for a house and disco sunset session. 5:30-9pm, free entry, food and drink for purchase.

This is the first of the monthly series on 4th Street. 5-9pm, free.

A free concert at Travis Marina Bar with free food? A bunch of bands playing hard rock and metal, something you don’t see often enough in Marin. 5pm until late, free.

This non-profit brings sports opportunities to children in Marin City. They go all out for this fundraiser with music, food, and fun. 6-10pm, $150.

We don’t cover many school events, because usually those are just of interest to that one school. But not this event at St. Anselm School: rides, games, food trucks. The Taylor Swift cover band Swifty is playing at 1pm. 11-7, free admission.

Do you ever get the feeling you should go to Tiburon more often? There will be some great performances, food, and crafts at this. 1-4pm, free.

What better way to end a day out in West Marin than this outdoor show at Smiley’s? “Lush NorCal indie-folk.” 3-5pm, free.

Marcie from the Marin History Museum will take you around as she tells scandalous stories from the 1930s. 1-2pm, $10. Following is a separate but related speakeasy event at Mac’s. Local mixologist celebrity Jeff Burkhart will tell stories and you’ll have the opportunity to step behind the bar to mix cocktails. 2pm, $35.

This one has started back up as well. Take the train and it’s a short walk. 4-8pm, free.

Shop highly curated pre-loved finds at the Bank St. Flea pop-up in San Anselmo (video of past event). 10am-1pm is free, early bird $10 admission from 9-10am.

What’s the best Mexican food in Marin? One way to find out is to post an Instagram video about one of the top 5 and let people duke it out in the comments. Puentez is across from San Rafael High in the Trader Joe’s shopping center (Montecito Plaza). It’s an excellent family-owned business, but also check out what other people say is their favorite place in Marin.
