MILL VALLEY FALL ARTS FESTIVAL 2023

Art, Nature, & Community

Once a year the community gathers under the redwood trees to celebrate art and the beauty that surrounds us.

Strolling through Old Mill Park among old growth redwoods we see art forms and visions we have never seen before. Our eyes and ears open to new art and ideas at every turn of the Festival - from the story tellers and puppeteers, to the main stage acts, to face painting, to the fine arts and crafts themselves.

Although the art comes from near and far, the Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival offers a warm, local, non-commercial experience and welcomes all ages and people.

Saturday September 23 & Sunday September 24

HOURS: Saturday and Sunday 10 - 5
