The City of Fairfax is an independent city in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It was, and still is, at the crossroads of Northern Virginia. Located just 20 minutes from Washington, D.C., with an attractive blend of commercial, office, retail, and residential properties, the City of Fairfax combines the charm of a small town with the opportunities of a thriving urban area. Acclaimed George Mason University shares the city’s southern border and provides the community with world-class thinkers, musical and cultural events, nationally recognized sports teams, and Olympic athletes. The city is widely known for outstanding cultural amenities. Every year the city sponsors world-class events such as Fall for the Book, Spotlight on the Arts, and the Chocolate Lovers Festival. This is in addition to three annual flagship events: the Independence Day celebration, the Fall Festival, and the Holiday Craft Show. The City of Fairfax offers a sense of place, a sense of history, and a sense of belonging.
