This weekend is Western Weekend in West Marin, and KWMR will broadcast the parade live starting at noon. When the rooster crows and the cow moos, we’ll go live with parade commentary. This year, the announcers of the parade entries will once again be Robert Cardwell, Dolores Gonzalez, and Matt Gallagher, in both English and Spanish over the KWMR airwaves. 

We’re gearing up for Western Weekend by running interviews with local participants in sponsors, like MALT, Brickmaiden Breads, Elizabeth Hollis, David Rodriguez, and more!
