The Mission

Marin’s Own,
All Day by the Bay.

We’re creating a one-of-a-kind, community-based, daytime festival that highlights how much incredible DJ talent is right here at home in Marin County. It’s free, all ages, and open to everyone. Because we believe electronic music is for all, and that dance unites people through rhythm and joy.

Our Ethos

How We Do It

Hyper-local focus

This is a city-supported, public, Marin-based stage, so every applicant must currently reside in Marin County. The talent is homegrown, on purpose.

Inclusion & diversity

We're deeply committed to equity on and off the stage, platforming talent that too often goes underrepresented. Our crew and lineup include BIPOC, queer, and female / non-binary artists.

Equal billing

There are no headliners here. Every artist is treated and promoted equally, a vital part of one collective experience.

Sponsors

Who Is Helping

Sponsor the Day

This festival is free because the community makes it so. Sponsors help us keep it that way, covering the stage, sound, and safety so the whole town can dance. Let’s find the right fit for your business.

Crew

Lend a Hand

We may need some help day of. Let us know if you’d be interested and we’ll reach out if we need it. It takes a village!

Before the Music

Give Back Before You Dance.

The morning of the festival, our neighbors are running Make a Difference Day, Sausalito’s citywide day of volunteer service: neighborhood cleanups, planting, and hands-on care for the parks and waterfront we all share. Lend a hand in the morning, then join us when the music starts at 2:30.
