Inspired by the many amazing outdoor shows at the old Terrapin Crossroads brick and mortar in San Rafael, Sunday Daydream is a one day festival and fun run filled with music, food, and family. While Phil and Jill are happily retired from managing the day to day of the business, Sunday Daydream is run by the next generation of the Lesh family: Brian and Grahame (who you might know from their many nights on the TXR stage), and their wives Mari and Claire. And of course you’ll see many other familiar faces at the events!
Sunday Daydream will begin with the Turtle Trot, a 5k, 10k and Kids Run from 9am - 11am. Runners will be treated to an exclusive set of amazing live music at the finish line, along with plenty of food, drink, and other goodies!
At 12pm the festival will open to all ticket holders, and the Music Festival will begin! For lineup information, scroll down.

Can I buy tickets to just the Turtle Trot, or just the Festival?
Yes! You can sign up for just the Turtle Trot, or you can purchase tickets to just the Festival. Bundles are also available if you’d like to attend both events: buying together saves $9.
What time does everything start?
The 5k and 10k start at 9am, the Kids Run starts at 10am, and doors to the Festival open at Noon. Music will end by 6pm. Stay tuned for more info on suggested arrival and shuttle times for runners.
What are the 5k/10k courses?
The courses are beautiful runs from McNears and along the water on Pt San Pedro Road. The course time limit is 2 hours.
Will there be food and beverages available?
Yes! Food and beverage will be available to purchase, including many menu items that will remind you of Sundays in the beach park at TXR.
Are pets allowed?
Per Marin County guidelines, no dogs or companion animals are allowed at McNears, except service animals.
Does this mean Terrapin is re-opening?
Terrapin has always been a community, not just a location. While we will not be re-opening at 100 Yacht Club Drive, we’re excited to see what the future holds and to get Terrapin Nation back together at the first ever Sunday Daydream!
