Ross adds a runway to its calendar this fall. According to MarinArts.org, the Marin Art & Garden Center hosts Marin Fashion Night 2026 on Saturday, October 3, an evening built around a live fashion show set against the grounds of one of Central Marin's most storied estates. The event is presented by the Marin Art & Garden Center in partnership with SONAS and fashion choreographer Charleston Pierce.
What to Expect on the Grounds
The evening unfolds in stages. Doors open at 4:00 PM for a welcome hour of drinks, hors d'oeuvres, and a soundtrack pulled from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, giving guests time to mingle before the main program. Around 6:00 PM, the crowd moves into the Garden with a cocktail in hand to settle in for the show. The fashion show itself runs from 6:30 to 7:15 PM, curated by Charleston Pierce and featuring six designers presenting current collections on a garden runway. The night closes out with DJ Joe spinning from 7:30 to 9:00 PM.
For anyone weighing a move to Central Marin, an evening like this is a good reminder of what Ross itself offers beyond its real estate. The Marin Art & Garden Center has been part of the town's identity for over eight decades, and events that bring fashion, live music, and a working garden estate together in one evening are part of what makes a small town like Ross feel disproportionately lively for its size.
