October 30 at 10:30am +25
Marin County Civic Center · San Rafael
Frank Lloyd Wright's only government building is a working wonder of arched walkways, natural light, and mid-century magic. The tour reveals how civic architecture can be both functional and utterly stunning.
October 31 at 10:30am
Sausalito Historical Society Museum · Sausalito • $20
Sausalito's pretty waterfront hides a wild past of smugglers, rock stars, and bohemian rebels. Local docents spill the scandals on an easy stroll through the town's secret history.
Nov. 4 & Dec. 4 at 12pm
Mount Tamalpais Watershed · Fairfax
Trek Mount Tamalpais by moonlight on a guided ranger tour that weaves the mountain's stories into every switchback. The silvered trails and sweeping bay views feel like a secret shared just with your group.
November 7 at 8:30pm (This weekend) +9
Nike Missile Site SF-88L · Mill Valley • Free
Step inside a real Cold War missile base where veterans who once manned the controls lead you through bunkers and actually raise a 40-foot nuclear SAM on the working elevator. It's a rare, visceral slice of American military history you can walk through.
Point Reyes · San Francisco
Point Reyes Birding & Nature Festival brings families face-to-face with coastal wildlife through guided walks and hands-on educational programs. Kids explore tide pools, spot birds, and learn about the local ecosystem while soaking up that famously gorgeous scenery.
Point Reyes National Seashore · Point Reyes Station
Watch two-ton elephant seals battle, bellow, and lounge on Drakes Beach with a ranger as your guide. It's a front-row seat to one of California's wildest winter wildlife spectacles.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
