Spring Events in Marin County

By Karisma Wilson,

April 3, 2025

With Marin’s spring weather in full swing, check out our roundup of farm visits, walks, markets, nature talks, and volunteer opportunities to make the most of the season. Take a hike and embrace the lush green from the winter rains or get cozy with newborn calves, lambs, and kids at one of the local events and offerings.

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