A chance for Fairfax businesses to participate in a lively family-friendly Fairfax experience!
DEAR FAIRFAX BUSINESS OWNER:
Streets for People is an annual one-day open streets event on Bolinas Road in downtown Fairfax. The healthy car-free environment allows people to enjoy outdoor activities, reconnect with friends, check out live local music, and shop and dine at Fairfax businesses. The event inspires people of all ages to gather and participate in the community in a unique way, encouraging the creation of vibrant places within public spaces. The street will be closed to vehicles on Bolinas Road from Broadway to Elsie Lane from 8:30am-5:00pm.
We encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to engage with your community and attract more customers by:
Closed-sided canopies/tents not permitted. We strive to keep storefronts along the street visible and maintain an open feeling on the street. For shade, umbrellas are encouraged!
Please fill out this Participation Form to let us know what 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.
