What is A Toast to Sausalito?
A Toast to Sausalito is paying homage to the old Caledonia St. fair and Taste of Sausalito Events of years past. We want to celebrate the great things we've done, are doing, and plan to do. Sausalito residents, community members, and transplants love art, music, and libations, so we want to bring back the fun to Caledonia St. and have a toast to those who came before us and gave us the blueprint to have a rip roaring good time!
