Celebrate Fairfax features live concerts on seven stages, an interactive SciTech Center and Children?s Avenue, Laser Show, fireworks Friday and Saturday night and hundreds of exhibitors and crafters. This year?s headliners include OK GO, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Bowling for Soup and Emerson Drive. Plus, there?s lots of great food options (mmmm; funnel cake!).This will be my seventh year involved with Celebrate Fairfax, and I enjoy the festival every year.

2007-06-06 13:02:00 The 2007 Celebrate Fairfax! festival, Northern Virginia?s largest community-wide celebration, is this weekend, June 8-10, at the Fairfax County Government Center. The festival features over 80 bands and performers on six stages including headliners Live, Smash Mouth, Little Big Town and Eddie from Ohio plus Jimmie?s Chicken Shack, JunkFood, Welbilt and much more.
