Fairfax City's 4th Of July Celebration 2020 Canceled
Fairfax City's traditional Fourth of July events may be canceled, but there are other ways you can celebrate the holiday safely.
FAIRFAX CITY, VA — July 4 events across the country will not look the same this year thanks to the coronavirus. Many cities and towns have been forced to cancel the annual Fourth of July events, including the city of Fairfax.
Although Fairfax City's 54th Annual Independence Day Celebration has been canceled, the city is exploring other ideas and options to recognize its July 4th traditional celebration while ensuring the health and safety of the community.
Earlier this month, residents showed their city pride by buying 2020 Independence Day t-shirts at Fairfax City Hall. This year's theme, "There's No Place Like Home," was chosen in 2019. Little did the city realize how the theme would resonate this year.
