“With a commitment to creativity, our team worked its tail off to create something new and exciting in this town we love,” said Jim Welte, director of the Mill Valley Chamber. “Come springtime, we hope the whole Bay Area will make a weekend trip to explore and see for themselves what makes Mill Valley such a special and unique place. As an organization, we continue to champion our community’s multi-faceted arts & culture, while creating innovative opportunities to connect people.”
The inaugural Mill Valley Music Festival was a success, organizers said, brining several thousand visitors to the city’s Friends Field, next to the Mill Valley Community Center. The event will once again offer an assortment of Marin County artisans, food vendors and philanthropic organizations, as well as family-friendly activities, art installations, local craft beer and more.
