Welcome to Fairfax

Fairfax sits at the west end of the Ross Valley, with a small downtown and open hills on every side. It's often called the birthplace of mountain biking, and the trails still start close to town.

Around town

Downtown is compact and walkable, with the Fairfax Theater and local shops and restaurants along Broadway and Bolinas Road. Bolinas Road climbs west out of town toward the hills, and Sir Francis Drake Boulevard connects Fairfax to San Anselmo and the rest of the Ross Valley.

Local lore

  • Mountain biking: the Marin Museum of Bicycling and Mountain Bike Hall of Fame opened at 1966 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in June 2015, after the Hall of Fame moved here from Crested Butte, Colorado.

A year in Fairfax

  • June: the Fairfax Festival and Ecofest fills Bolinas Road with a parade that starts at the Fairfax Theater, free music on outdoor stages, and the Ecofest.

Why we love it

Fairfax keeps its own pace. The trails start close to downtown, the bike museum tells the story of a sport that grew up on these hills, and the June festival brings people out onto Bolinas Road. If you're thinking about a move to Fairfax, reach out to Team Brody.
