Fairfax is a special town. Located just west of San Anselmo, it's the gateway town to West Marin. All about peace & love, with a trendy, artistic vibe. It's a music town, with live music seven nights a week. In the mid-'60s, there was a softball game between members of Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead at Central Field. Fairfaxians love the focus on the local activity-in fact a bank is the only non-local business in town. With music and festivities always in the air, Fairfax is the perfect place to kick back and have a fun, relaxing time.
