What makes Marin County one of the best places in the world to be? Let us count the ways. More accurately, let us count your votes. Our annual Best of Marin readers' poll is here, with 47 new categories,and we couldn't be more excited to turn to you, our loyal readers, to tell us exactly what you love most about Marin. We tally your votes - in categories that include: Arts & Culture, Fitness & Recreation, Food & Drink, Home Improvement, Family, Cannabis, Everyday, Beauty, Health & Wellness and Romance - to determine the winners, and then put together our biggest issue of the year, published on April 29 to celebrate them.

From its lively arts and culture events, to its eclectic food scene to its awe-inspiring landscapes, Marin certainly spoils all who spend time here. We look forward to seeing which people, places and things have captured your hearts. Happy voting!
