Things To Do: Every year, the Youth in Arts...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Every year, the Youth in Arts Council holds the Italian Street Painting Festival in downtown San Rafael.

    This year's festival is June 14-15, 2003.

    Three blocks of streets in the center of town are closed off to traffic, and are marked off as large squares. Starting on Friday night, artists take their spaces (purchased by sponsors beforehand) and start their artwork. They work throughout the weekend, and thousands of people attend to watch the artists work and revel in their talents. It's so much fun!

    Farmer's Market: Check out the farmer's market....
  • Tip Rating:
  • Check out the farmer's market. There are various ones in Marin County. However, my favorite is held at the Marin County Civic Center, down the street from my house. It's hours are 8am to 1pm on Thursdays and Sundays, all year 'round.
    Great, fresh, organic produce, crafts, delicious foods (crepe, samosa, falaffel, freshly baked goods, kettle corn, smoked salmon, artisan sausages, etc.), crafts and live music... very nice.

     I got a girlfriend in Rafeal. Never been there. Maybe someday. Your pics are nice.

     Who will ever forget the time when the Yeehaas ran out of beer? The long forgotten civilization of the Yippie-Ky-ay-aye came out of the desert like a mirage to save them with more Budweiser. So many rifles being shot into the air with glee!
