From: Fairfax Fall Festival47th ANNUAL FALL FESTIVAL
The City of Fairfax invites you to bring in the fall season at our Annual Fall Festival!
What started out as a small market for artisans to display their wares has grown to a festival with more than 400 arts, crafts, information, food & gourmet food vendors, children’s activities, three stages of music and entertainment for all ages.
Even though we have grown up, we still consider ourselves very much a hometown community with a hometown festival. We look forward to seeing you in historic Old Town Fairfax from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on October 14, 2023, and keep the party going with our After Fest concert from 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. in Old Town Square.
Enjoy!
