View flyer

The Kentfield Greenbrae Historical Society (KGHS) is partnering with Bon Air to celebrate our shared heritage and local history with a FREE, family-friendly community event. We will honor and celebrate our local schools and the extraordinary services and programs provided by Marin community organizations.

Enjoy a showcase of FREE samples from 60+ local farms and food producers and hands-on activities for kids and adults. A fun, popular passport game encourages attendees to visit community organization booths to receive prizes generously donated by Susie Cakes, Jamba Juice, and Gott's. The Marin Rose Society will host a beautiful, fragrant exhibit with more than 41 categories of expertly grown roses on display to the public. Volunteers will assist kids of all ages in creating a beautiful bouquet.

KGHS will debut a newly acquired and important historical painting and provide a presentation about its history with prominent local historians, Dewey Livingston and Richard Torney. The painting by noted 19th-century artist Joseph Lee offers a rare view of central Marin. Lee details the village of Ross Landing (what would later become Kentfield) with incredible accuracy. Ross Landing was the only town in the vicinity at that time.
