Mill Valley Celebrates 125 – Save the Date for the 125th Anniversary Celebration!!
Our intent for the celebration of the 125th Anniversary of the Incorporation of the City of Mill Valley is to bring our community together for a common awareness and commitment to this special town and surrounding community. As part of that effort, the Mill Valley 125th Anniversary Committee is sponsoring a series of articles by noted local historian and author Joyce Kleiner. These articles are intended to foster understanding, and pride, in Mill Valley’s history, and will focus on some of the people and events that shaped Mill Valley’s spirit of stewardship, volunteerism, and community involvement. Our efforts will culminate in a wide range events on Labor Day, Monday, September 1, 2025, including an historically-themed parade, live music, an ice cream social, screenings of historical videos, and tours of the Old Mill.

“The Local Trade exists to teach the people who will build our future,” he says. Together with a team of instructors, mentors, and advocates who share the passion for bringing tradecraft to the next generation, we are excited to offer woodworking classes to the community.

A Decade of Bucky Dog: How a Local Mom’s Passion Project Became Marin’s Favorite Dog Walking Service
Bucky Dog has always been more than a business. From the start, Paige made it a priority to give back to the community that helped her grow. This year, in honor of its 10-year anniversary, Bucky Dog proudly announced it has donated over $10,000 to Kiddo!, the nonprofit that supports arts and enrichment programs in Mill Valley schools. “I’ve raised my daughter and son here. I’ve walked hundreds of dogs here. This community means everything to me,” Paige says. “Supporting Kiddo! is just one small way we can say thank you.”

Karen Goldberg, Owner of Tamalpie and The Warehouse Consignment Exchange, Passes the Baton to Debbie Loughran
After four wonderful years at this location, the time has come for a new chapter. I’m retiring this space and moving on to pursue new projects and passions. To those we’ve had the joy of helping and inspiring through our unique pieces and finds—thank you. Your support has meant everything. It’s been an honor to have a little part of me and the furnishings I’ve loved become part of your homes, your families, and your lives. I’ve truly had a wonderful time. I’m excited to share that I’ve sold the business to another passionate entrepreneur, Debbie Loughran, who will carry on the spirit of what we’ve built. She’ll be expanding the offerings with additional services such as interior design, design-and-build solutions, and upholstery work.

Open Kimono: As the Mill Valley Music Fest Heads Toward the Four-Year Mark, It’s a Great Reminder of Why We Created It – It’s Not Just a Big Party, It Matters to Us Deeply, and It Supports ALL of Our Amazing Community, and Beyond!
More than anything, The Mill Valley Music Festival is about continuing to be better neighbors to those within and around our community. Whether it’s our years-long support for the We Are One Marin Campaign highlighting BIPOC-owned businesses or our longstanding coverage of inequity in our town, from historic to much more recent and shining a light on discrimination among us, we’re committed to making our town more equitable. That’s not a heavy ask – it’s just connecting the dots toward opportunity.
We’ll continue to strive for ways to use the power of this lil’ music festival to bring both sonic joy and more opportunity to our friends and neighbors
