San Rafael Schedules Free October 29 Treat Walk and Climate Action Forum: Times, Locations and City Contacts

SAN RAFAEL, Marin County — October 25, 2026. Residents planning Thursday evening activities should note two separate city-related gatherings on October 29: a free family Treat Walk from 4 to 6 p.m. at San Rafael Community Center and a Climate Action Forum from 5 to 7 p.m. at City Hall. The times overlap, so residents hoping to attend both should plan accordingly.

Free Treat Walk at the Community Center

According to a City of San Rafael release dated October 16, the third annual Treat Walk takes place Thursday, October 29, at the San Rafael Community Center, 618 B Street. The city describes the event as free and open to the public, with activities in the Lonatese Garden including treats, pumpkin decorating, face painting and games. Costumes are welcome. The event is organized by San Rafael Library and Recreation with other municipal departments.

The city also provides a direct event announcement. Event details can change, so families should check the organizer’s latest notice before attending. This article is an advance notice, not a report that the event took place.

Climate Action Forum overlaps in time

The same city announcement lists a Climate Action Forum on October 29 from 5 to 7 p.m. at San Rafael City Hall, Third Floor Conference Room, 1400 Fifth Avenue. The city says the forum will discuss climate-related initiatives and address sea-level rise and potential flooding associated with El Niño and King Tides. The event is described as bringing together Sustainable San Rafael, a City Council member and the City Sustainability Team. Check the current municipal event calendar for entry and participation details.

What other civic events are approaching?

San Rafael’s October 16 city bulletin also lists a Dark Skies Educational Panel on November 5 from 5 to 6 p.m. in City Hall Council Chambers with an online option. That gathering is separate from the October 29 climate forum. Residents seeking official information about civic meetings can review San Rafael city announcements and the Council agenda portal; meeting proposals should not be confused with adopted actions.

How to follow San Rafael issues

The same municipal bulletin discusses housing planning at 350 Merrydale Road and a proposed redesign of the intersection at Second and Fourth Streets. The city described those matters in the context of council proceedings, not as proof that construction had begun. Check the current city project records for subsequent approvals or changes.

San Rafael News will continue connecting official sources to local reporting, and welcomes corrections or first-hand event information from residents.
