This year marks the 100th anniversary of the iconic Marin County Fair, and it's bigger, buggier, and more brilliant than ever! Held under the summer skies of Northern California, this year's theme, "Bug-Tastic", brings a creepy crawly twist that has visitors buzzing—literally.

From enormous insect sculptures to interactive bug exhibits, the fair transforms into a vibrant microcosm where education meets entertainment. Families, kids, and curious adults alike are lining up for hands-on displays that showcase the secret lives of beetles, butterflies, and even tarantulas. Yes, tarantulas!

One of the highlights? The Bug Barn, where fairgoers can see live insects up close, hold giant walking sticks, and learn how bugs impact our ecosystem in fascinating ways. Don’t miss the glow-in-the-dark firefly exhibit that’s capturing hearts and cameras alike.

But it’s not all insects. The fair also features classic carnival rides, live music, eco-art installations, and local food vendors serving up everything from deep-fried delights to organic eats. Among the standout contributors is a Tiburon couple who brought their passion for film and art to the fairgrounds, mesmerizing audiences with immersive visual storytelling.
