In addition to all the great art to peruse, there is a children’s grove with performances and opportunities for kids to get their hands into art projects.

For more than 60 years, the Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival has been a mainstay in the town of Mill Valley. It originated in 1957, when a small group of artists exhibited their works in downtown store windows. From there, it grew into a full fledged festival, first held in Lytton Square until it moved to its current home: the glorious redwood grove in Old Mill Park.
