  • Join us for a fun filled evening in downtown San Rafael this summer as we host our annual event, "Dancing Under The Lights"!

    Prepare to dance the night away with our headliner, NEON VELVET, one of the Bay Area's top party bands. The festivities will kick off with a performance by School of Rock, a talented local youth band.  Our local eateries, food trucks, and dessert vendors will be offering savory bites and sweet treats. Refreshing beers from our local brewery, Pond Farm, will be flowing to make for a fabulous Friday night! Check out the local artist marketplace, kids' craft table, and jumpy zone. From crafting to dancing, there's something for the whole family.

    So mark your calendars, gather your friends and family, put on your party shoes, and join us for the 3rd Annual "Dancing Under The Lights" - where Downtown San Rafael comes to life!
