Engage Marin is where residents weigh in on County initiatives, directly informing the way County services and investments reflect community values. Share an idea, read what your neighbors said, and support the ones you agree with. It takes only two minutes to have your voice heard.
As we re-open the VMA doors, we want to know who would you love to see on stage? What kinds of events would you, your family, and your friends come to? Dream big—we'd love to hear your ideas, whether it's concerts, comedy, dance, family events, or something completely new.
Recent ideas residents have shared, drawn from every question on Engage Marin.
Theatrical productions - so we don't have to drive into SF. From small independent to Broadway style musicals

Which performers and what types of events would bring you to the Veterans' Memorial Auditorium?
Mummenschanz I loved seeing this amazing mime troupe several times at the VMA and I wish my grandchildren could to see them. The troupe is doing a final tour after 55 years of performances. Last chance to see! " 'Adieu!' is now booking in North America in 2028. This 90-minute journey through the imagination requires no translation and appeals to audiences of all ages, transporting them into a boundless yet familiar world of comedy, poetry, tenderness, and magic". Hint to Engage Marin: Opus3Artists is the booking agency.

A County department posts a question seeking input on a key decision, project, or investment while a decision is still open.
You share an idea in your own words, comment on your neighbors’, and vote for the ones you agree with. You can put your name on it or stay anonymous, and you do not need an account to get started.
County staff read every idea, join the conversation where helpful, and summarize what residents said for the staff and boards making the decision.
