47th Annual Fairfax Festival & Ecofest — a free, family-friendly downtown Fairfax celebration of music, art, community, and eco-friendly living
Join Fairfax for the 47th annual Fairfax Festival and Ecofest, a beloved community tradition celebrating music, art, and eco-friendly living. This year’s festival runs June 12–14, with a free family movie night on Friday, a Saturday parade at 10am, and a full Sunday of music, crafts, eco-vendors, food, and community joy.
A Downtown Fairfax Weekend Tradition
The Fairfax Festival is one of the town's signature annual celebrations, drawing thousands into downtown Fairfax for a weekend that feels relaxed, local, and genuinely neighborly. The streets fill with live bands, artisan booths, sustainable vendors, and families moving from stage to stage with food in hand and nowhere else they need to be.
Friday Night Kicks It Off
Friday, June 12 begins with a free family movie night — an easy, low-key start to the weekend and a reminder that this festival is designed to welcome the whole community. It is the kind of opening night that sets the tone for everything that follows.
Saturday's Parade and Festival Energy
Saturday, June 13 brings the parade at 10am, followed by music, food, festivities, and a downtown that stays active all day. If you want the classic Fairfax Festival moment, this is the day to show up early and stay awhile.
Sunday Keeps the Momentum Going
Sunday, June 14 adds more music, crafts, eco-vendors, and community joy, giving the weekend a slower but still lively finish. It is a strong fit for people who like wandering, browsing, and lingering rather than rushing through a checklist.
What To Expect
The festival's eco-friendly focus is part of its identity, and the mix of live entertainment, local makers, and community energy gives it a distinctly Fairfax feel. If you are looking for one weekend event in Marin that combines local culture, music, and a real neighborhood atmosphere, this is it.
