WHAT'S COMING UP
Come to the Marin County Fair – five days and nights of good, green fun.
Thursday, July 1 - Sunday, July 5
11:00 am-11:00 pm
Marin Civic Center, Civic Center Drive, San Rafael

Sponsored by the Marin County Fair
Five days and nights of the best Marin County has to offer. Enjoy great bands, rides, tens of thousands of exhibits from fine arts to barnyard animals and fireworks, to name a few. For more fair facts, visit marinfair.org
In typical Marin style, everything possible is being done to make this a zero waste event. In addition to working with vendors to make sure everything is recyclable or compostable, there will be recycling and eco stations through-out the event. Even the stage is solar powered.
