San Rafael City

The California Film Institute, which presents the Mill Valley Film Festival, is erecting a screen at Lagoon Park at the Marin County Civic Center for the first drive-in event of its 43 years! October 8-18.

MVFF returns for 43rd year, but as a drive-in and virtual festival The festival, organized by the California Film Institute, will run from Oct. 8 to 18.

I know there’s so much uncertainty in the world right now. We can’t fix it all overnight. But we can start on a smaller scale and help make our city stronger. Come out Thursday night for downtown San Rafael’s ‘Dining Under the Lights.’ Fourth Street will be closed to cars and only open to foot traffic.

Just spoke with someone at the San Rafael Chamber of Commerce. She literally said they’re doing this to save our downtown restaurants. So even if you’re not comfortable eating out in public maybe consider ordering food to go.

For those doing sit down service (outside) check with your favorite restaurant to see if reservations are required.

Can’t wait!!

Hope you can make it next week at downtown’s Dining Under The Lights for the kickoff to a great summer!

“Dining Under the Lights” in Downtown San Rafael
Every Thursday 5 – 9 p.m.

San Rafael’s Fourth Street restaurants, from Lincoln Ave. to the West End Village, are taking to the street for outdoor dining every Thursday night this summer, beginning on June 25th.

Should San Rafael copy Berkeley and close Fourth Street? This will allow restaurants to accommodate more customers while also maintaining the social distance rules.

Berkeley Will Fully Close Its Streets to Create Giant Outdoor Dining Rooms Berkeley is moving fast to expand outdoor dining
