Western Weekend: Celebrating West Marin's Rural Roots
West Marin’s beloved Western Weekend will officially usher in summer on June 7, celebrating the region's heritage with fresh produce, Marin Farm Bureau’s famous chicken barbecue, a barn dance and other festivities.
The event’s centerpiece, a parade through downtown Point Reyes Station, will start at 12 noon on Sunday, June 7. Crowds will line the main street to admire decorated horses, tractors, festive floats, bagpipers, dancers and more. The event, celebrated annually since 1948, is free.
Created to celebrate the rural roots of West Marin, the annual festival honors our farms, ranches and villages in an increasingly urban and fast-paced world. Originally called the West Marin Junior Livestock Show, the 77-year-old event is now a broader and more diverse celebration of the region.
Participants are urged to come early to avoid traffic detours and get a good viewing spot. This is a family-friendly and substance-free event. Bring your refillable water bottle.
