If you live in the Bay Area (particularly if you live in Marin County), then Marin Country Mart should be a staple on your list of places to visit. An homage to the spirit and camaraderie of the old village square, Marin Country Mart’s park-like setting is a welcoming destination where artisans and entrepreneurs gather.

Marin Country Mart is an open-air shopping and dining destination that features an incredible roster of fantastic boutiques, farm-to-table eateries and convenient services. Merchants are known for amazing, locally-sourced offerings that are unique and sure to please. Most can’t be found anywhere else in Marin or San Francisco--for many merchants, Marin Country Mart is their only location in the Bay Area.

You can also find these regular events on weekends:

• Friday Night Jazz

  • Enjoy the sounds of local musicians every Friday night from 5:30 pm until 8:30 pm.

• Saturday Farmers’ Market

  • Local farmers and vendors provide fresh, seasonal items every Saturday from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm - rain or shine. Bring the kids, as there are activities for them as well, such as crafts, music, facepainting, and a petting zoo.

• Off The Grid food trucks

  • The largest gathering of food trucks in Marin occurs every Sunday from 11:00 am until 3:00 pm.
