Fairfax Streets for People- Save the Date!

by Leave a Comment

Celebrate Fairfax at the Seventh Annual Fairfax Streets for People on Sunday, October 13, 2019, 10:00am – 4:00pm

Streets for People is a celebration of what makes Fairfax unique! During this event, Bolinas Road in downtown Fairfax is open for the community to enjoy. It is a chance for people of all ages to engage in outdoor activities, reconnect with friends, check out live local music, and shop and dine at Fairfax businesses. The event also features dance and yoga, art and crafts, community organizations and more.

Inspired by a Global Trend

This event was inspired by Ciclovia, a successful car-free program in Bogota, Colombia. Seventy miles of roadway is closed every Sunday, allowing two million participants to celebrate the city in a healthy environment free from cars. This program has also inspired the Sunday Streets program in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and across the nation.

We will stop at energizer stations along the way as time allows.
