MILL VALLEY, CA — Sometimes, ideas that sound good on paper don't always work out in the real world. Other times, it's the other way around. Organizers of the inaugural Mill Valley Music Festival left nothing to chance planning the event, enlisting a loaded lineup that included three-time Grammy Award winner Ben Harper. The sold-out May 7 festival attracted more than 5,000 attendees for a day of family-friendly fun, and organizers are already gearing up for a likely return of the event next year. "We're over the moon at the response to the inaugural Mill Valley Music Fest," Mill Valley Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Jim Welte told Patch. "We're feverishly working through the process of laying the groundwork for this to become an annual event, while still maintaining our laser focus on keeping it a family-friendly gathering that celebrates our amazing town and all its bounty, while representing the Bay."
