Fifty years. That is how long the City of Fairfax Fall Festival has been taking over Old Town, and the 2026 anniversary edition on Saturday, October 10 is going to be a big one. More than 400 vendors, three stages of live music, children's activities, beer gardens, and free admission from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
And that is just one weekend. The season starts in September with the Fall Fun Fest at Reston Farm Garden Market, the Basset Hound Rescue Fall Festival on the 12th, and apple picking at Great Country Farms. October brings Vienna Oktoberfest on the 3rd, the Fall Wine Festival October 9 through 11, and Cox Farms running straight through November.
We put together a full guide to the season, including the dates worth marking and a few practical tips for parking, crowds, and keeping the day easy on everyone.
