The Muir Beach Volunteer Fire Department (MBVFD ) is thrilled to announce details for the 52nd Annual Muir Beach Volunteer Firefighters’ Barbecue on Sunday afternoon of Memorial Day Weekend, May 24, in Santos Meadow near Muir Beach and Muir Woods. Featuring delicious food, fantastic live music, tasty craft beers, premium wine, and a whole lot of fun for the family, the Muir Beach Volunteer Firefighters’ Barbecue is a festive gathering, a favorite Memorial Day weekend tradition in Marin, and an essential fundraiser for the Muir Beach Volunteer Fire Department.

This year’s event is especially meaningful as the MBVFD recently broke ground on its new firehouse near the Muir Beach Overlook. Proceeds from the Barbecue will go directly toward completing the building and equipping the department, ensuring the firefighters are well-prepared to serve the community for decades to come.

Live music will keep the energy high all day! Opening the festivities is rock and roll band SunHunter, recently voted Best Band in Marin in the Pacific Sun Readers’ Poll. Perennial favorites Andre’s All-Stars, featuring top-tier musicians performing classic rock and R&B, will keep the crowd dancing.

No barbecue is complete without incredible food, and MBVFD has it covered. Muir Beach firefighters and community members will tend the smoky grills all afternoon. Barbecue chicken, crepes, vegetarian tamale lunches, handmade desserts, sodas, beer, and wine will be available, as will clothing and other items featuring the famous Muir Beach Volunteer Fire Department’s iconic dog logo.

The day concludes with an exciting raffle featuring dozens of incredible prizes, including accommodations, top-tier restaurant gift certificates, and unique experiences from across the Bay Area and beyond.

Parking is $30 per vehicle, and carpooling is encouraged. Walk-in and bike-in attendees can enter for $10.
