The 59th Annual Sausalito Arts Festival is this Labor Day weekend (September 3, 4, and 5, 2011). Hours are Saturday and Sunday 10-6 and Monday 10-5.
The festival is great fun for families. Bring a stroller, drinks, and snacks (they have food and drink there but you may not want to wait on line). Also, if you or your child are sensitive to noise, bring earplugs. The festival features several music venues that are close to the art.
In addition to some fantastic art and good food, there are several great educational displays. For example, the festival has an exhibit called The Beautiful Brain, which shows "neuroscience images as art." Lots of interesting pictures; our 3-year-old loved it. Real images of the brain (we think our son enjoyed this exhibit in Sausalito more than the brain exhibit at the Museum of Natural History in NYC, which we blogged about in March, because that exhibit in NY is darkly-lit and a bit scary for a youngster).
