Join a hands-on session focused on open-ended creativity with glue. Instead of step-by-step crafts, you’ll explore how simple materials and child-led play can spark imagination, problem-solving, and learning. You’ll also learn strategies that emphasize the process, welcome a little mess, and help create plenty of “wow” moments. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little gluey.

Hall Pass returns to the Creek Park Stage for San Anselmo Live! with a free outdoor performance in a shady grassy amphitheater. Streets will be closed and food and drink options are all around, creating a setting for relaxing on a blanket or in chairs, or for heading to the dance floor. The band will play a pair of sets.

Get ready for the school year with a family-friendly yoga session focused on building confidence, resilience, flexibility, focus, and balance. Led by Michelle Wing, this class includes yoga plus special moves designed to help everyone stress less and feel better. All ages are welcome, and a portion of the proceeds benefits Big Brothers Big Sisters.
