The 2026 Summer Entertainment Series delivered powerful live performances for thousands of attendees across Fairfax County. The free series, presented by Fairfax County Park Authority, featured concerts by renowned musical groups, children’s entertainment, international cultural showcases and outdoor movies.
From June through August, the outdoor performances brought the community together to enjoy entertainment with families and friends. As the 2026 summer season comes to a close, FCPA looks back on another year filled with community and entertainment. This year featured:
- 128 free, live performances
- 3 outdoor drive-in movies
- 10 local series
- 22,500 estimated attendees
- 400+ volunteer hours
The Summer Entertainment Series comes to the Fairfax community through a partnership between FCPA, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and the Fairfax County Park Foundation, and the tremendous support of individuals, businesses, corporations and volunteers who contribute to the success of these entertainment series. The free performances and movies are possible thanks to the many private donations and sponsorships, which pay performers' fees.
