Larkspur Community Foundation

Meet Mary Tiscornia, owner of Escalle 🐴

We drive past its long, tree-lined fence on Magnolia every day: The historic Escalle Winery, Larkspur’s oldest and largest property.

Escalle occupies 29 acres of King Mountain, including a barn, home, garden and winery dating from 1881 - and owner Mary Tiscornia is as fascinating as the history of the estate itself.

Mary rarely opens Escalle’s gates to the public these days, but when she does, it is for a good cause. And we at LCF are extremely grateful that Mary will again host our Rose Bowl Dance fundraiser on Saturday, September 19!

LCF spoke with Mary about the storied history of Escalle, the challenges of land management, and what it’s like to ride a horse from Larkspur to Stinson for the day.

Inside Escalle with Owner Mary Tiscornia It isn’t easy managing the largest and oldest private property in Larkspur, what with falling trees, aging buildings, neverending mowing and trespassing turkeys that act like they own the place.

Farm Stand Coming to Downtown Larkspur on Tuesdays!!! 🍅

The Marin Community Farm Stand will debut THIS TUESDAY, June 23 from 11am-7pm at the city’s downtown parking lot across from Left Bank!

And the stand will be there EVERY TUESDAY going forward!

The stand will carry organic fresh produce and artisan products from top farms in the Bay Area.

The plan was created in response to hundreds of survey responses from local shoppers who supported the idea of a farmers market downtown.

The Larkspur stand will be the latest MC Farm Stand, joining the operations in Ross, San Anselmo, Petaluma and the original location in Forest Knolls.

Huge thanks to Mayor Andre, the Larkspur City Council and Jim Baum of the Farm Stand for giving Larkspur a new place to shop downtown!!

See you at the market next Tuesday!!! 🥦

Rose Bowl tickets are going fast!!! 🌹

We are SO excited that so many of you have already purchased tickets for our Rose Bowl Dance fundraiser featuring TAINTED LOVE on Sept. 19!

LCF is extremely fortunate to be able to host the Rose Bowl at the historic Escalle Winery - but TICKETS ARE LIMITED.

So add “BUY ROSE BOWL TICKETS” to your to-do list today - because the dance might sell out before you get back from summer break!

The Rose Bowl Dance is LCF’s major fundraiser. Tickets are $195 and support all of our community initiatives, including the free Music in the Park concert series at Piper Park, the Fourth of July Parade, beautification efforts and public safety projects.

In addition to ‘80s dance music by Tainted Love, the Rose Bowl will feature snacks and drinks from Left Bank, Honig Wines, Copper Six, Silver Peso and Hidden Splendor.

Piper Park rocked!!! 🎸

Larkspur’s biggest park was the live music capital of Marin County this weekend!

Bubba’s Taxi played a killer set Friday nite Music in the Park, despite some extra breezy conditions.

And Battle of the Bands shook the field at Piper on Sunday afternoon, with shows from five incredible bands, wrapping up with a set from the winner of last year’s battle, Velvet Fog.

Huge congrats to Gas Money for winning the 2026 battle and to the Larkspur Chamber for hosting a fun afternoon!

We at LCF loved meeting so many locals at both events, including a meeting of two of Larkpur’s top community leaders - Laura Anderson of LCF and Max Perry of the Peso!

Now it’s time to get psyched for our next FREE Music in the Park concert this Friday from 6-8pm with The Dogweeds!

See you there!
