Winter weather isn't an obstacle to anyone who wants to find something to do and sights to see during the season.

 

Discover Why the Winter Months Are Mill Valley’s Time to Shine.

 
One of the best things about living in Mill Valley is the year-round sunshine. Winter weather isn't an obstacle to anyone who wants to find something to do and sights to see during the season. From the annual Winterfest celebration to local hikes, you might be surprised by the range of activities available to you this winter!
 

Celebrate the Season With Winterfest 

 
Mill Valley's downtown plaza comes alive with music, festivities, and holiday cheer during the annual Winterfest celebration! Even the biggest Scrooge in your life is guaranteed to find something to smile about at this fun event that features a tree-lighting ceremony, games, fantastic food, and a wide range of activities. The 2020 Winterfest looks a little different due to the ongoing pandemic, as many events are happening online or dispersed throughout the area. But hey, that's better than nothing, right?

Multiple Hiking Areas & Muir Woods

 
Let's be honest, "winter" isn't really a thing in California. The weather remains sunny and the breezes warm; it's more like "pre-spring" than anything. That means you can still do regular adventurous things like hiking the Dipsea Trail or exploring the Muir Woods. Basically, you don't have any excuses not to get to work on losing those extra holiday cookie pounds. That said, California isn't immune to daylight savings, so keep in mind that it gets dark early. 
 

There Are Plenty of Spots Worth of a Shopping Spree

 
If there's one thing we all love to do in the winter and during the holiday season, it's shop. You can tell people you're going to Downtown Mill Valley near the historic Depot Plaza to do your Christmas shopping when in reality, you're looking for reasons to max out your AmEx with little gifts for yourself! This quaint area is bursting with old-town charm, unique eateries, boutiques, and art galleries. Other popular shopping areas include Strawberry Village, Alto Plaza Shopping, Miller Avenue, and Tam Junction. 
 

Mountain Bike Through the Area

 
Did you know that the mountain bike was invented in Marin County? It's why the recreational activity is so prevalent in Marin County and the surrounding areas. In Mill Valley, there are 46 different road and mountain biking trails located in places like Sausalito to the Bolinas Lagoon and the classic Mt. Tamalpais mountain bike region. There are plenty of pre-planned routes to traverse, but if you're feeling extra daring, then you can even map out your own course.
