Some family-favorite events kids love include the
Marina Festival of the Winds event with kites, and the Caledonia Street Faire in
Sausalito sponsored by a nursery school and the city of Sausalito. Races,
concerts, fiestas and ever-popular Cinco de Mayo all provide reasons for May to
herald the early launch of the summer season! And lest we forget, Memorial Day
Weekend is a three day vacation signaling the start of summer vacations!
