A chance for Fairfax businesses to participate in a lively family-friendly Fairfax experience!
DEAR FAIRFAX BUSINESS OWNER:
Streets for People is a one-day “open streets” event on Bolinas Road in downtown Fairfax. The street is transformed into a gathering space for people of all ages to come together as a community to enjoy our public commons. There is live local music, dance, crafts, shopping and other activities. Local restaurants serve food outside creating an outdoor cafe setting.
Is Streets for People a street fair or street festival? No, not in the traditionally used sense of these phrases. The focus of the event is on local community engagement and fun activities & creativity in the street. Outside vendors are not permitted.
HOW WILL YOU PARTICIPATE?
We encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to engage with your community and attract more customers by:
PLEASE NOTE: The street will be closed to vehicles on Bolinas Road from Broadway to Elsie Lane from 8:30am-5:00pm.
Please fill out this Participation Form to let us know how you would like to participate. If you are a Fairfax business, but do not have a Bolinas storefront, we will help find you a space on the street.
Please also review these Guidelines for participation on the street.
