Oscars parties, turtles + seals, family hike, and more

We are back with more ideas for fun things to do this weekend. If you go to any of these events, tag @marin_buzz on Instagram.

California Gold — San Rafael

How many people in Marin used to live in SF? 🙋 This bar feels like you are at one of those cool speakeasy bars in North Beach, but it’s right in downtown San Rafael. Manny the bartender has great vibes.

All Weekend Long

Fe-BREW-ary in San Rafael

Craft beer month wraps up in Downtown San Rafael. Check it out for limited-release beers and live music at several locations.

Saturday 3/1

Turtle Observer Training in Fairfax

Your resume is getting a little stale. How would you like to add “Volunteer Turtle Observer”? This is your chance.

Elephant Seals in Point Reyes

Wrap up winter with a trip to the coast to view the massive and loud seals at the end of breeding season.

Wine Tasting in Marinwood

Why drive to Napa when Napa will come to you? 2-5pm at the indoor community center with childcare available on site.

Sunday 3/2

Marin Farmers Market in San Rafael

Not a lot going on this weekend? Could be a good time to hit up an event that happens every week. Fun fact: this is the 3rd largest weekly farmers market in the state.

Newts and Roots: A Family Hike Around Lake Lagunitas in Fairfax

Learn about the plants and animals in this ranger-guided walk from 10-11:30am.

Academy Awards Parties in Multiple Locations

Get dressed up and sip champagne. There are several paid viewing parties at Cinelounge in Tiburon, the Smith Rafael Film Center in San Rafael, and the Lark Theater in Larkspur.
