Dear Friend of the Arts, 

Spring has officially arrived and the arts are in the air as we prepare for an exciting lineup of live performances in the weeks ahead.  Each year, Fairfax Spotlight on the Arts hosts numerous live performances in central Fairfax beginning with the Annual Spotlight on the Arts Opening Reception on Friday, April 21, 2023, at Old Town Hall.

The 2023 festival will be “Taking it to the Streets” as the streets of Fairfax are buzzing with artistic creativity wherever you look.  From April 21 to May 7, let Spotlight be your guide. Take a walk down Main Street to meet local artists creating their next masterpiece, attend a theatre performance in a historical building, experience dance in Van Dyck Park, or enjoy a glass of wine and some jazz at Blenheim.
