The countdown is on for the county’s largest Earth Day bash — and we’re shaking things up with a brand-new location. Earth Day Fairfax 2026 hits Lake Fairfax Park in Reston on Saturday, April 25, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Expect a full-on Earth party: family activities, games, food trucks, a craft beer garden, big trucks and Earth friendly vendors — plus live music and entertainment on the main and community stages to keep things rocking!
Jam out, chillax and dance the day away with live music from School of Rock, Recycling Pirates, Proverbs Reggae Band and Wildflower Revival Band. Go green with a special Weather Chat with Topper Shutt and Plant Talk from Merrifield Garden Center. Get up close with live animals from Hidden Pond Nature Center and catch exciting Okinawan karate and taekwondo demonstrations.
In between the action on stage, fill your day with:
- Interactive booths and exhibits
- Free giveaways
- Furry farm friends
- Ideas for summer (camps, amusements, events)
- Ways you can help the planet
Parking is $10 per car. Event takes place rain or shine.
