October Events in Marin

September 27, 2023

This October in Marin, you can find spooky-holiday-themed celebrations and pumpkin patches in our separate harvest events post. Look below for the monthly roundup of farm visits, walks, markets, nature talks, volunteer opportunities, and virtual events.

The beautiful vistas of MALT-protected land you see as you explore the region support our thriving agricultural community, sustain biodiverse habitats, and connect us to our local food and fiber producers. We hope you will get outside this month to enjoy all the events Marin’s open spaces and working lands have to offer.
