A Brief History

                                                                                                          
Since its beginning, Sausalito has been many things to many people. For more than a century, fully rigged sailing ships have taken shelter along the waterfront. Visitors today have a unique opportunity to view some of the historic boats, classic yachts and sailing vessels in Sausalito’s scenic harbors and marinas.
 

The northern region of Sausalito was once a major ship building site during World War II Liberty ships, tankers, and landing craft were manufactured in Sausalito. This area, known as the Marinship, later became a haven for artists, writers and crafts people who remain today. Their unique and bohemian lifestyle thrives in this area still, as well as Sausalito’s  colony of floating homes.
 

The major event of the year is the very popular Sausalito Art Festival, every Labor Day weekend, stars of the contemporary Art scene are showcased on the sparkling bay shores of Sausalito, California's Mediterranean-like seaside village. Over one-million visitors from throughout the world have experienced Festival since its inaugural event in 1952. Sausalito hosts the West Coast's ultimate Art Experience, featuring the finest fine Art works
