MCBC Gala

Ticket sales are now open for Big Bike Bash, MCBC’s 2026 Gala Event! Join us on Thursday, March 12, 2026, in Mill Valley.

This will be an unforgettable evening celebrating the work of MCBC and our two-wheeled friend, the humble bicycle, and everything it gives us: connection to the great outdoors, transportation, freedom, exercise and clean air.

We’ll roll into the Mill Valley Community Center for a lively evening that kicks off with cocktails, mocktails and a silent auction. Then you’ll hear an inspiring presentation highlighting our new 5-Year Strategic Plan; feast on a special culinary experience from Chef Ryan Scott, the Emmy Award–winning chef, restaurateur and television personality known for his vibrant flavors and engaging style; tuck into a cheese service while bidding on a high-energy live auction hosted by celebrity auctioneer Chad Carvey; compete in one more fast-paced auction, or “Dessert Frenzy”, for some tempting treats; then you’ll dance the night away with Mercy & the Heartbeats, a beloved Bay Area band.

We also extend a heartfelt thank you to our Host Committee — Matt Adams, Kim Ford, Jeff Jungsten, Stephanie Mellin, Stacy Nelson, Julia Violich and Dana Williams — for their leadership and support in making this event possible. And if you’re interested in volunteering for a gala committee, you can sign up here.

Come raise a glass, share a meal, and celebrate cycling with us. Every ticket helps support safer streets, access to more trails and a bike-friendly Marin.

Thank you to our sponsors: She Sends Foundation (Presenting Sponsor); Stacy Nelson & Associates and Violich Farms (Champion Sponsors); Marin Community Foundation and Wednesday Girlz (Advocate Sponsors). If you’d like to become a sponsor, learn more here.
