Our festival is held across Marin and Sonoma Counties and is primarily located in what locals call West Marin, — the largest rural region of Marin County, California.
West Marin includes the unincorporated communities of Point Reyes Station, Olema, Stinson Beach, Bolinas, Tomales, Dillon Beach, and Inverness. West Marin is generally considered to be west of Muir Beach and Nicasio on the Pacific Ocean side of Mount Tamalpais.
Car Travel
Due to remote event location, and limited bus services, a car is necessary for travel.
Please do not rely on Uber/Lyft. They may bring you out, but you'd be hard-pressed to get one back.
Carpooling is optional and at your own risk and coordination.
Stay the Night
Point Reyes National Seashore
West Marin is home to the only National Seashore on the West Coast. There are hostel and camping facilities available.
Motel Inverness
Motel Inverness is a festival sponsor that provides a unique lodging experience adjacent to Point Reyes National Seashore. Located on Tomales Bay and surrounded by wildlife preserves on all sides, our guests can experience the tranquility and peacefulness of nature. The motel dates back to the time when automobile travel was new and the wonders of our country were your road to adventure, but they have updated to meet the needs of today’s travelers as they hit the road.
The spacious main lodge provides the perfect place to enjoy the views, bird watch, read, relax, or have a complimentary coffee and biscotti. Anchored by a Yosemite stone fireplace and championship pool table our guests are always delighted and surprised when they first walk in and see the view! Many of our guests say their stay here was the highlight of their trip. We know you will enjoy and appreciate the serenity and calm the natural surroundings provide. The hardest part is leaving … but we know you will be back.
