Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival


History:
For over 60 years, the Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival has been the soul of our town. From the earliest days (1957) when a small group of artists exhibited their works in downtown store windows, through the years that the Festival was held in Lytton Square until we moved to our glorious redwood grove in Old Mill Park, the Festival has always been an annual moment we share - it marks the years in our lives, it brings us together.

In 1962 the Festival committed to a long term vision, became a nonprofit organization and moved to its present site at historic Old Mill Park.

In 2021, the 501(c)(3) Friends of Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival merged with the 501(c)(4) Festival to become a single 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, making it more easily eligible for grants and endowments.

Mission and Passion
The Staff, Board and Committee work all year to produce an annual event where everyone can discover local and national fine arts and crafts amid the natural beauty of Mill Valley in the safe, magical setting of Old Mill Park. The Bay Area Community comes to view and purchase world-class art, hear and see first rate musical and theatrical performances and enjoy delicious food.
