Whether You'll Be at MV Music Fest or Not, HERE'S HOW TO MAKE IT WORK FOR YOUR BUSINESS!

Readers of this space know all too well what our aims are for the Mill Valley Music Fest. It's about leveraging this amazing community in an effort to be better neighbors to those who haven't always received equity and fair treatment, showcasing great musical talent, both local and national, and supporting a trio of local nonprofits that serve as the driving force for the next generation.
But our foundation is clear: it's you, the people who own and run businesses throughout this community. You give Mill Valley wings. So ... whether you are participating in any way with the Mill Valley Music Festival or not, you have a right to benefit from its success.
What does that look like? From May 6-20, you can offer discounts, deals or anything you'd like to anyone who presents an MVMF ticket on their phone. Submit your offer here ASAP and we'll start posting them on the EMV blog, our social channels and the MVMF site.
This is just one more way to show that this gem, nestled under the redwoods at the base of Mt. Tam, is a vibrant destination with an ever-growing abundance of galleries, boutiques, artisan shops, top-notch restaurants, outdoor activities and a thriving arts and live music scene. Let's keep it that way. FULL STORY.
