Julius Caesar in Zelinsky Park: Shakespeare Comes to Tiburon

The San Francisco Shakespeare Festival brings an abbreviated, accessible version of Julius Caesar at 2 p.m. in Zelinsky Park behind Tiburon Town Hall. This production updates the story to the eve of World War I and uses the familiar tragedy to highlight unchecked power, nationalism, and that political backstabbing that, honestly, still feels relevant in Marin.

People in Tiburon and Belvedere can expect a family-friendly show with high stakes, but it’s still accessible for younger theatergoers. After the performance, a talk-back with the actors gives Marin County and Ross Valley residents a chance to chat directly with the cast and dig into the play’s themes.

This event is free and open to everyone, but organizers ask folks to register ahead of time. The festival knows Marin weather can be unpredictable—the show will go on rain or shine. If things get too soggy, they’ll move everything to the Belvedere-Tiburon Library for a more comfortable setting. The Tiburon community, along with neighbors from Sausalito and Mill Valley, usually shows up for outdoor arts events like this—it’s a point of local pride.

When: Saturday, April 4, 2:00 p.m.
Where: Zelinsky Park, behind Tiburon Town Hall (Tiburon, CA); in case of rain, Belvedere-Tiburon Library alternative
What: Abbreviated, family-friendly Julius Caesar with post-show talk-back
Registration: Required or encouraged; details available through the Belvedere-Tiburon Library

Panel on Homelessness: Conversations from Belvedere to Bay Area Outreach

On April 2, Marin County readers can tune into a thoughtful panel about homelessness. The event takes place in the Founders Room at the Belvedere-Tiburon Library.

Tiburon author Brian Barth will join fellow voices to discuss his book Front Street: Resistance and Rebirth in the Tent Cities of Techlandia. His book profiles encampments throughout the Bay Area and sparks conversation about housing, resilience, and how communities respond.

The panel brings in members of the Wood Street Commons collective from Oakland. They’ll add perspectives from the broader regional conversation that really hits home for Marin’s own housing challenges.

Mary Carl, CEO of Miracle Messages, will moderate the session. Her San Francisco nonprofit helps people experiencing homelessness reconnect with family.

The goal is to spark conversation, share knowledge, and toss around practical ideas for neighbors and policymakers in towns like Tiburon, Belvedere, San Rafael, and Larkspur.

When: Thursday, April 2, 5:30 p.m. (panel)
Where: Founders Room, Belvedere-Tiburon Library
Who: Brian Barth, Wood Street Commons speakers, moderated by Mary Carl
Cost: Free; registration or library contact details provided by the library

The Belvedere-Tiburon Library, a regional hub for libraries and cultural programming, offers a welcoming space for neighbors in Corte Madera, Novato, and Fairfax. It’s a chance to jump into a bigger conversation about the region’s future.

Registration info is up on the Belvedere-Tiburon Library’s website. Local residents might want to check for weather updates as spring events pop up across Tiburon and Belvedere.
