For downtown restaurants, boutiques and service businesses, it’s been a weird, wild ride – a pair of major construction projects delivered major upgrades.
There was disruption, and the feeling among some as we came into 2024 that wet weather and a malaise among our neighbors had set in, with some feeling like Mill Valley residents’ shopping and spending patterns had changed, with 94941 residents drawn to malls and the friction-free, “I want it, I bought it, I have it” feeling.
But let’s be clear – this is Mill Valley, a wondrous place of creativity, innovation and sheer tenacity – it’s all coming back!
The Depot Plaza remains a vital gathering place just about any time of day.
The wintry deluge will pass, and we can get back to basking in one of the most vibrant places in all of California.
Have you seen how cool Mill Valley is lately? Our retail gems, galleries and home goods stores are serving up uncommon, highly edited collections which reflect the best in curation around the Bay Area.
Tasty bites and beverages inspired by cuisines around the world are offered in our restaurants and cafes. You can get services and experiences here coveted by locals and visitors alike. With the complete makeover of one of Mill Valley’s two main arterials AND the centerpiece of its downtown, getting into our inspiring village is easier and more beautiful than ever.
And just wait, there’s new organic ice cream coming, a return to the movies, hiking in the sun, and more!
IT’S ALL IN FRONT OF US AND THERE IS SO MUCH TO CELEBRATE IN OUR DOWNTOWN.
Our downtown boasts legions of innovative boutiuques, renowned galleries, ultra-creative restaurateurs, do-it-all service businesses and an arts and culture scene that rivals just about any community in the Bay Area.
Most importantly, let’s get out of the house, enjoy the soon-to-arrive beautiful weather and eat, drink, shop, gather and enjoy the bounty of the 94941!
As we ramp up towards welcoming thousands of people to our amazing community with the wondrous Mill Valley Music Fest, followed immediately after by the Memorial Day Parade, the Kiddo! Carnival, Mountain Play, Dipsea Race, the 20th Anniversary of Comedy in the Plaza and much, much more, it’s time for the bounceback.
Here’s the ask: we urge you to come downtown, eat, shop, gather and ENJOY MILL VALLEY, along with the entire 94941.
Some of the businesses are offering discounts (Scroll down!). Skip the trip to the mall or the instant gratification and invest in your community!

Appreciate your attempt to make people excited about our fabulous small town that is dying… Property taxes for businesses are not sustainable… the burden of doing business for mom and pop shops is ridiculous… 27 years of running a business in Mill Valley has left us with nothing bill full hearts.
