The Struggle for Mother Water explores the many disturbing dimensions of the global water crisis, how women worldwide are leading the fight to protect and defend water, for their families, their communities, for all of creation.
Over the course of 219 days, traveling to 21 countries, filmmaker Michael Zelniker platforms the stories of those on the frontlines, uplifting those whose voices too often go unheard.
After premiering at the Berlin International Film Festival, it then screened at the Taormina Film Festival where Zelniker was recognized with a Special Sustainability Award.
The Lark Theater will be hosting a special screening of Episodes 1 &amp; 6 of the 8-part docuseries on August 30th during which time Zelniker will be in attendance, discussing his work on the documentary along with sharing information about the Mother Water Fund, the 501c3 charitable organization, that was inspired by the making of The Struggle for Mother Water.

<a href="https://www.soundsummit.net/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Sound Summit,</a>&nbsp;the daylong festival atop&nbsp;Mount Tamalpais&nbsp;that has brought exceptional music to the mountain and Bay Area community alike for more than a decade, returns to the historic Mountain Theater on&nbsp;Saturday, September 12. Headlining this year’s festival is&nbsp;cinematic folk-rock&nbsp;troubadour&nbsp;Father John Misty&nbsp;performing with his full band. Joining the lineup are&nbsp;beloved harmony-driven indie rockers Guster,&nbsp;Talking Heads co-founder and new wave visionary&nbsp;Jerry Harrison&nbsp;and his&nbsp;50 Years of Talking Heads&nbsp;project, dreamy surf-noir psych-rockers&nbsp;La Luz,&nbsp;and&nbsp;irresistible Bay Area funk ensemble Angeline Saris &amp; The Snack Machine.

Tickets go on sale Friday, June 12th at 10:00 a.m. PDT at&nbsp;SoundSummit.net.

Staged at the historic 4,000-seat Mountain Theater atop Mount Tamalpais,&nbsp;Sound Summit&nbsp;combines world-class music with a mission to support and preserve the mountain’s natural resources. Produced annually by&nbsp;Roots &amp; Branches Conservancy,&nbsp;the festival has raised more than $300,000 over the past decade for&nbsp;Mount Tamalpais State Park, helping fund trail restoration, historic preservation, fire prevention, water conservation, visitor services, emergency preparedness, and other vital park initiatives.

“Staging the event in this remarkable perch high above the Bay each year is a continually nourishing adventure,” says Sound Summit founder and festival producer&nbsp;Michael Nash. “I’m always impressed by our spirited crowd who makes their way up the mountain for a day unlike anything down on the ground. And there’s an unspoken but tangible sense of camaraderie among everyone for having done so.”

“Five years ago, Father John Misty graced Sound Summit with an intimate acoustic set, and we’re psyched to have him back this year with his full electric band, along with the eclectic array of other acts on the bill. All told, we have a great party in store with the best views in town.”

Sound Summit is excited to welcome back perennial emcees&nbsp;Brian Murphy and Paul McCaffrey&nbsp;(longtime KNBR radio duo known as&nbsp;Murph &amp; Mac&nbsp;from 2006 to 2023) and&nbsp;Tim Lynch, host of KPFA’s Dead to the World.&nbsp;Andy Cabic&nbsp;of Vetiver returns as the all-day DJ, spinning tunes and setting the vibe between sets.

Past Sound Summits have featured legendary performances by Wilco, Lord Huron,&nbsp;The War On Drugs, Sierra Ferrell, Bob Weir &amp; Phil Lesh, Herbie Hancock, Taj Mahal, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Courtney Barnett, Kurt Vile &amp; The Violators, Grace Potter, Cake, Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real, Jim James, Alvvays, Los Lobos, Dr. John &amp; The Night Trippers, Kevin Morby, Real Estate, and many more.

Old Mill Park

<a href="https://www.mvfaf.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">The Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival</a>, one of Northern California’s most beloved outdoor arts traditions, returns to Old Mill Park&nbsp;beneath the towering redwoods on September 19 and 20, 2026, celebrating its 69th annual event with a vibrant weekend of fine art, live music, family programming, and community connection.
Held daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the festival transforms historic Old Mill Park&nbsp;near the heart of downtown Mill Valley&nbsp;into an immersive gathering place where visitors can explore original works from 135 juried artists, enjoy eclectic live performances, discover interactive art experiences, and celebrate the enduring spirit of creativity that has defined the event for nearly seven decades.
Founded in 1957 by a small group of artists exhibiting artwork in downtown store windows, the Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival has evolved into a cherished cultural institution recognized as one of the premier art festivals and community events in Marin. Today, the festival continues to honor its roots while supporting future generations of artists through scholarships, mentorship, and expanded nonprofit programming.
At the center of the festival are 135 juried fine artists showcasing exceptional artwork spanning painting, jewelry, sculpture, photography, textiles, woodworking, ceramics, mixed media, and more. Each year, artists are selected by an independent jury, creating a diverse and high-quality exhibition that reflects the richness of the contemporary arts community. The artist selection will be announced in early July.
Festival-goers are encouraged to meet artists in person, explore their creative process, and purchase one-of-a-kind works directly from the makers themselves.
The festival’s celebrated main stage will once again feature a fantastic lineup of local and regional musicians performing throughout the weekend. Drawing on deep roots in the Bay Area music scene, the festival presents a vibrant mix of genres and generations, from emerging young performers to legendary artists spanning bluegrass, rock, Americana, jam band, jazz, soul, folk, and beyond. Please visit the <a href="https://www.mvfaf.org/entertainment-activities" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">website</a>&nbsp;for updates to the music lineup.
Families will find a full schedule of activities and performances inside the beloved <a href="https://www.mvfaf.org/entertainment-activities" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Children’s Grove</a>, featuring puppetry, storytelling, music, arts and crafts, face painting, and interactive experiences designed to inspire young imaginations and encourage creativity for all ages.
The Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival includes an Emerging Artist Program&nbsp;and expanded Student Scholarships,&nbsp;continuing its long-standing commitment to supporting the next generation of artists. The Emerging Artist Program provides early-career artists (particularly local high school and college students) with the opportunity to exhibit and sell their work at a major festival. Scholarships are awarded to 12 Marin County visual arts students, with artwork featured on festival merchandise and exhibited during the event.
Festival attendees can enjoy expanded food and beverage offerings, artisan merchandise, a community mural painting project, and enhanced visitor amenities, including shuttle service and convenient bicycle access. New this year, the festival will feature wine tastings throughout the festival at special tables hosted by six participating wineries, alongside the wines served at the festival’s beverage booths, including<a href="https://www.barraofmendocino.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> </a><a href="https://www.barraofmendocino.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Barra of Mendocino</a>,<a href="https://www.blackbirdvineyards.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> </a><a href="https://www.blackbirdvineyards.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Blackbird Vineyards</a>,<a href="https://www.gibbsnapavalley.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> </a><a href="https://www.gibbsnapavalley.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Gibbs Vineyards Napa Valley</a>,<a href="https://www.honigwine.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> </a><a href="https://www.honigwine.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Honig Vineyard &amp; Winery</a>,<a href="https://www.merriamvineyards.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> </a><a href="https://www.merriamvineyards.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Merriam Vineyards</a>, and<a href="https://www.theoremvineyards.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> </a><a href="https://www.theoremvineyards.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Theorem Vineyards</a>.
The festival is also introducing Festival Friends, a new VIP experience and insider pass for festival lovers who want to provide incremental support for the arts in Southern Marin and enjoy exclusive perks. A limited number of Festival Friend passes will be made available in advance, which include Fast Pass entry, wine tasting, exclusive festival merch, a&nbsp;discount coupon for the Festival’s online shop, restaurant gift cards, an invitation to the Artist Reception, and local offers.

The festival’s online and <a href="https://mill-valley-fall-arts-festival-store.mybigcommerce.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">onsite merchandise store </a>will feature new apparel and gifts inspired by this year’s artwork, including totes, mugs, yoga mats, children's t-shirts, wine totes, woven blankets, dad caps, and more.
As a nonprofit organization established in 2021, the Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival has strengthened its ability to preserve and grow the event for future generations while expanding support for arts education and community programming throughout Marin County.
The festival also depends on the dedication of local volunteers who help greet guests, support artists, staff information booths, and assist with operations throughout the weekend.
