The fall season is flying by and we want to make sure you don’t miss any of the fun events on the land in and around Marin before the colder weather and rain envelopes us indoors.

If you’re seeking pumpkin patches or Halloween-related events for the final few days of October, visit our recent Where to Find Pumpkins and Fall Activities in Marin post for details and recommendations.
