Tiburon Triathlon

The seventeenth annual Tiburon Triathlon will take place on 27 July 2008. 

The course is a half mile swim (not measured, so it varies from year to year), a nine mile bike, and a two mile run.  After the swim, you need to run about two blocks from the swim area to the bike transition.  We close the course at 9:30 a.m., or so.

We want you to have a safe and fun day.  Because participants can shortcut the swim or receive assistance and still finish, it is not a race.  It is just for fun.  Participants should arrive at 6:30 a.m. at Belvedere Community Park.

Belvedere Block Parties

The date has been set….invitations are in the works….plans are being made! Mark your calendar now!

Saturday, August 30 - Parties all on the same night - City-wide!  Location: All over Belvedere!

This incredible community event is a “can’t miss” event. The parties all typically occur on a single Saturday night. Each block organizes their own event that can be as casual or as fancy as they deem appropriate - music, food, dancing, more music, and more food! It’s all about a City-wide party to have fun and it’s a great opportunity to get neighborhoods together and to meet new friends!

If you are interested in helping out with the event or wish to serve as an organizing chair for a block contact Connie Wiley at 435-3218.

Tiburon Art Festival

The Second Annual Tiburon Art Festival returns to historic Ark Row on August 23 & 24. 

This year’s event promises to be bigger, better and bolder than ever. It will include paintings, sculpture, wood, glass, jewelry, and photography of the highest caliber by local artists, juried by well-known judges.

Check out the BLOG. Volunteers are needed throughout the summer. Please contact one of the event co-chairs, Cathleen Andreucci or Carolyn Wendler to offer your services and get involved.

Labor Day Parade

Labor Day Parade: Home-grown and Old-fashioned

On Sunday, August 31, starting near the Tiburon Library at the corner of Tiburon Boulevard and Mar West Street, and ending at the Belvedere Park for the final Concert in the Park Event, this parade boasts five live bands and a fantastic and fun variety of music, antique cars, creative floats and entries from your favorite organizations. Bring the family and enjoy the fun!

Get involved! If your organization would like to join the parade, or if you have an antique car you want to show off, contact parade chair Marissa Miller for an entry form or call her at 225-1431. Another way to get involved is to sponsor an incredible “ballon vest” and add more color and excitement to the event. You can also advertise your business (by wearing a T-shirt or a sign while walking in the parade). Contact Joan Palmero for details or 435-7373.  

 

Volunteers are needed! If you are available on the day of the parade, or in the weeks before the parade, we need both adult and teen volunteers to be parade marshals, decorate floats, and hand out supplies. Contact volunteer coordinator Joan Barth for more information. This is a great way for your teen to earn community service hours for school. Make a Splash! Make a Statement! Join the Fun!

Blackies Pasture

Ever wondered how Blackie’s Pasture got the name?

Read the touching biography-in-verse by Christopher Cerf and Paige Peterson, magically illustrated with 45 full-color illustrations by Paige Peterson, Blackie: The Horse Who Stood Still

“The word quickly spread ‘bout the new horse in town And from all ‘round the county young kids headed down To the pasture where Blackie could always be found Standing still, like a rock, on the same patch of ground.” 

 

 

Bike/Pedestrian Master Plan

To make Tiburon an easier and safer place to walk and bike, Town staff and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee have been busily working with Alta Planning & Design (a consulting firm sponsored by the Transportation Authority of Marin) to update Tiburon’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.

 

The revised Plan is packed with ideas and recommendations for a Town-wide network of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, including more sidewalks, paths, bike lanes and bike routes, as well as bicycle and pedestrian-related programs and support facilities.

 

A copy of the Draft Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan is available at Town Hall for public review. For further information: Associate Planner Laurie Tyler at (415) 435-7397 or ltyler@ci.tiburon.ca.us.
