San Anselmo Art Festival, June 21 & 22
 
On San Anselmo Avenue between Bolinas and Tamalpias Streets in San Anselmo, California.

 "San Anselmo's central business district creates its own renaissance canvas of tree-lined streets, old-world lamps, shaded benches, and sunlit awnings. The true hub of the weekend is art, all original covering a wide palette of styles and genres. It's in the air in the form of jazz, blues, and country music rising off street corners and from village stages. You can even make some of your own in the arts-&-crafts area. Whether you take away the perfect piece for your bedroom or hallway, a full stomach and sleepy kids, or simply the memory of light and shadow painted by branches across a picnic blanket, you will return home with summer in your blood. And a promise to yourself to return next year."


For great food, fine art, and small-town charm, San Anselmo's Art Festival remains one of the Bay Area's best-kept secret escapes. It makes for one of those memorable weekend trips into all that summer promises. Once a railroad hub for freight on its way to the Sausalito docks, the town's restored "hub" now offers safe passage to the turn of the century. Just across the bridge and 100 years back in time.
