Funky, creative, and proud of it. Fairfax has a distinct bohemian character, an active downtown, and a community that values local business and outdoor living. Catch a show or a first-run film at the Fairfax Theatre, explore the trails of the Cascade Canyon Open Space Preserve, grab a meal at one of the many independently owned restaurants along Broadway, or simply people-watch on a sunny afternoon. It sits at the edge of some of Marin's best hiking and mountain biking terrain.
