About
EcoFair Marin is the second annual community celebration to inspire a healthy and sustainable Marin. For more information about the event, go to Event Details.
Our Story
In 2009, the City of San Rafael developed a groundbreaking Climate Change Action Plan to acknowledge local greenhouse gas emissions and set about reducing them. The report recommended creating a local sustainability event to bring together businesses, nonprofits and the community to celebrate and advance sustainability efforts.
A group of volunteers, some from the Climate Change Action Plan committee, formed EcoMarin in 2010 to plan the event. To honor Marin County’s rich heritage of innovative environmental stewardship and create an inclusive and diverse program, the Executive Committee has partnered with national green event producer Seven-Star, Inc.
