Fall Events in Marin County
By Kirsten Arnett,
Development Coordinator
September 22, 2025
As autumn settles over Marin, our local farms and open spaces are alive with activity. It’s harvest season — from apples and pumpkins to wine and cheese — and a perfect time to explore the vibrant food, fiber, and natural landscapes that define this region. Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly pumpkin patch, a guided hike on MALT-protected ranchland, or a cozy cheese tasting, there’s something for everyone to enjoy this fall.
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 enjoy all the events Marin’s open spaces and working lands have to offer.
