This weekend, the market is celebrating its 30th anniversary. I’m not too sure what all is involved in that, but they are looking for volunteers for a special strawberry shortcake booth. 9am-2pm, free.

This annual event is held at the Falkirk Cultural Center Gardens, which is worth checking out. Talk to the experts or just buy potted arrangements. 9am-noon, free entry.

It will reopen this Saturday, 5/30 at noon. After it abruptly closed due to a car hitting the building, there were many twists and turns to open back up. The building sold, then the business sold, followed by more delays. There are many people in Marin who have been patiently waiting and I’m sure it’ll be a boisterous first weekend. If you go, tag @marin_buzz on the socials.

A new brunch spot just opened in San Anselmo, near the Red Hill Shopping Center. I’ll have to give it a try soon! It looks like an impressive buildout with a beautiful interior. Open from 9am to 2:30pm daily with one menu all day, so fully focused on brunch. Sign me up for a Morning Cheesy Scramble. They also have beer and wine, including mimosa flights and low or zero ABV cocktails. They’ve been working on this quite a while, so congratulations on the launch!
