The Marin Center promotes and enhances the cultural, educational, social, economic, recreational and entertainment life of Marin County for all residents by serving as the county’s major performing arts, convention, and event center and serves over one million people each year. The Marin County Fair serves as the showcase for creativity, imagination, diversity, and talents of our community. This community celebration salutes achievements and accomplishments across an extensive spectrum, including agriculture, livestock, technology, intellectual, cultural, and artistic endeavors, and entertainment interests. Additionally, the Marin Center and Fairgrounds serves as an emergency response and resiliency center for the community.
The Marin Center serves as an evacuation center and safe zone during fires, earthquakes, flooding, and other disasters. The campus proved itself invaluable during the Tubbs Fire, the Kincade Fire, and Glass Fire, and the recent heat advisory days as a cooling center
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Marin Center was repurposed first into a Covid testing facility and RV Village, then a vaccine center for Marin County residents.
The Marin Center and Fairgrounds is home to Lagoon Park, a respite for the community as a place for walks, picnics, birdwatching, and other physical and mental health activities.
