The Fairfax Festival is an annual music, food, and arts event held in Fairfax, California. Fairfax is a small town nestled in the redwoods in Marin County, just north of San Francisco. We're a destination for cyclists, nature-lovers, and foodies.
The festival is typically held over a weekend in June and is a celebration of our community's funky culture, lively music community, local artists, and, of course food and drink.
ARTS & ARTISANS
Arts & Crafts Fair Under the Redwoods
The Arts & Crafts area of the festival is like a free Arts & Crafts Fair. Our Arts and Artisans come every year with a fascinating selection of handmade goods. Listen to the music from the Main Stage while you shop for jewelry, leathercrafts, fine art, textiles and more under the shade of the redwood trees.
Our mission is to bring joy and excitement to our community through a love of art, great music and the ability to come together as one. Let’s celebrate the diverse creativity ignited by the passions of our people.
