Point Reyes Western Weekend 2025

Western Weekend occurs every year in the small West Marin town of Point Reyes Station over the first full weekend in June. In conjunction with my work for PRRIC, I spent both days of last weekend enjoying the festivities. 

Saturday's events included a farmer's market, open artist studios, a bunch of local musical acts, a barn dance, and a bunch of other cool stuff. The highlight for me was when I got my portrait sketched by a robot (well a robot arm and camera attached to a laptop and equipped with a pen). 

Sunday's main event is a parade that runs down the main street featuring cowboys and sheriffs on horseback, floats from local orgs like Rotary International, and even local Flyn Q's cosmic enlightenment rap group, Spacesuit. 

In the run up to this year's festivities, a picture was posted in a Facebook group from a Western Weekend parade taken around 1960. It wasn't long before one of Anne Dick's daughters identified Phil, Anne, and a very young Laura in the picture. 

Even better, I was able to find the building in the background of the photo and to watch Sunday's parade from the same vantage point. 

Here are some more pics of the parade:
