The 94941 is chock full of incredible live music all year long – it’s built into the fabric of who we are as a community.

That fabric includes major live music festivals like Sound Summit, one of the biggest and most locally beneficial live music events in town, set in one of the Bay Area’s most spectacular and intimate venues at the historic Mountain Theater, a 4,000-seat natural stone amphitheater atop Mount Tamalpais.

Mill Valley also showcases thrilling live music at long-cherished festivals like the Homestead Valley Music, which returns to Homestead Meadow, as well as the Creekside Fridays at the Tam Valley Community Center, with Fog Burners on August 22nd and Marble Party on Sept. 5th!

And don’t get us started on the venerable nonprofit Sweetwater Music Hall, which has top-notch live music just about every night of the week, as often does the Throckmorton Theatre.

While the buskers and bands keep playin’ year-round, one of the most exciting live music events returns this month, on August 31st, with CONCERTS ON THE PLAZA!

Set for August 31st from 11am-8:30pm on Mill Valley Downtown Plaza he Mill Valley Arts Commission’s Concerts in the Plaza returns in 2025 on Sunday, August 31st from 11am to 8:30pm.
