Streets for People – This annual awesome event closes downtown Bolinas Avenue to automobile traffic and gives it to the people! Local businesses come out with their wares and goodies, there are classes and workshops, live local music, free services, and lots to learn. And, of course, our Zero Waste committee is in full force to make sure that as little waste goes to landfill as possible. This event is organized by Sustainable Fairfax in conjunction with the Fairfax Chamber of Commerce.
