This Sunday, May 16 from 9a.m to 4p.m. the Marin Sonoma Concours d’Elegance, the piece de resistance of elegant car shows, graces the Marin County Civic Center grounds. On display will be over 200 exotic and rare vehicles on the lawn and 12 beautiful wooden classic boats (woodies) in the Lagoon. There will also be cars for sale, exhibitors of exceptional automotive products and services plus live music, food, wine and micro brew sampling. As a special feature, on display will be Janis Joplin’s wildly painted 1965 356 Porsche convertible on loan from the Ohio Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! http://www.marinsonomaconcours.org/

A review of the Marin May Calendar of Events suggests that, just as ancient folk welcomed and celebrated the arrival of the Merry Month of May through fairs and festivals, so do today’s modern folk! 

May in Marin offers everything from Wine and Food Festivals, Flower and Garden Party’s, to Elegant Car events and the opening of the Mountain Play!

So, grab your Day Timer, or PDA of choice, go to www.visitmarin.org, and with renewed May-time zest, mark down those favorite event days and join the merry May celebrants in welcoming Spring and warmer days ahead!
