June | 2024

Happy June in Fairfax!

The days are getting longer, and the sunshine is getting brighter, school is almost out, and dreamy beach days are upon us! We have lots of fun classes, programs and events happening right here in your own backyard. Join us for our favorite season of the year!

Summer Camps

We have waived our early bird pricing, and we still have spots open in nearly all our camps.


We like to imagine that it's the good 'ol days and kids are riding bikes to each other's houses and selling lemonade on the corner. We are lucky that this still happens in our sweet little town. But we also know that parents don't always get to spend the school breaks at home, so we started Camp Fairfax and over the years our camps have evolved to offer more of a variety, such as, Spanish Camp, Art and Nature for Kindergarteners, Sport Camps and more. Kids get to stay in town and take part in their community and have tons of fun!


Still looking for the right fit? Support your local community and join us! Scholarships available.

  • Tennis Camp – new dates and times!
  • Soccer Camp
  • Basketball Camps *filling up fast
  • Art and Nature *waitlist

Community Arts Opportunity - Calling our creative volunteers!

Mosaic Project in the Parkade

Mosaic Project in the Parkade, spearheaded by our Artist in Residence Sharon Virtue. This project is to help beautify the Public Art in the Parkade section of our town. Sharon will be working with 10 -15 volunteers to create and install intricate mosaics to bring this art mural project alive. She is leading a small scale 3-day community implementation timeline:


  • June 1 – breaking, cutting and sorting tiles into boxes
  • June 14 and 15 – onsite installation process begins around the base of the parkade which is currently a plain concrete step.


Please contact Sharon Virtue directly if you’d like to be involved at shazzavirtue@gmail.com.


We would like to thank the estate of David MacDonald for funding this project.

Fairfax Festival June 8 and 9

Event date: June 7, 8, and 9  

Where: Downtown Fairfax 


Join us for the 45th annual Fairfax Festival and Ecofest, a beloved community tradition celebrating music, art, and eco-friendly living! As one of the premier music festivals in the region, our event draws thousands to downtown Fairfax each year.


But what truly sets us apart? The Fairfax Festival is more than just a party – it's a labor of love organized by volunteers. It is a net-zero, financially independent, not-for-profit, FREE event. While the Town of Fairfax serves as a gracious conduit for the event, we don't profit from it. Instead, we partner with local non-profits and groups to raise money for charity, giving back to the community that supports us.


From delicious food and beverages to organic wine and artisan vendors, there's something for everyone to enjoy. With three music stages, a flea market, Ecofest activities, and fun for children of all ages on the ballfield, the Fairfax Festival is an experience like no other.


Mark your calendars for Friday, June 7th, when we kick off with a family movie night with WIZARD OF OZ, followed by a lively parade on Saturday, June 8th at 10 am. Don't miss out on this free, family-friendly celebration – see you there! Learn more at fairfaxfestival.com.
