About the Briefing

Mill Valley is a town with a strong sense of who it is. The Dipsea Race has been run through the same redwoods for more than a century. The counterculture put down roots and never really left. Music and art aren't amenities here — they're part of the town's DNA.

The Mill Valley Briefing covers the civic news and community stories that help residents stay informed and connected — through a newsletter, a podcast and live events that bring the community together.

What makes Mill Valley, Mill Valley?

We'll be exploring the spirit of this place and what it means to belong here today — the kind of conversation worth having in person, at the Sweetwater.

The panel is moderated by author Joyce Kleiner and includes audience Q&A and wraps by 8:30pm. A reception to celebrate the launch of the Mill Valley Briefing follows — entirely optional.
