Marin County Fair’s next theme: Celebrating insects

The theme of next summer’s Marin County Fair will be “BUG-Tastic!” — a salute to the unheralded insect population among us, officials announced.

“We will be celebrating all things that are creepy and crawly and wiggly and buzzy and everything in between to highlight the importance of bugs and how they keep our ecosystem balanced and healthy,” said fair director Jennifer Olvera.

The annual summer festival will be the county’s 82nd. It will be held from July 2 to 6 at the county fairgrounds in San Rafael.
