Fairfax City is buzzing with activity this August, featuring its annual Summer Restaurant Week and the return of students to local educational institutions. Residents can enjoy special dining experiences through August 30, while schools and universities prepare for increased traffic and student safety.
Fairfax City Summer Restaurant Week invites everyone to explore diverse culinary offerings and special menus across the city. The mayor presented a proclamation in support of the event, encouraging community participation. Meanwhile, students are returning to City of Fairfax Schools, Northern Virginia Community College, and George Mason University on August 24. Drivers are reminded to stop for school buses, obey crossing guards, watch for students, and avoid phone distractions.
An increase in traffic is expected on August 27 around George Mason University's western Fairfax Campus for a Welcome Week Men's Soccer match against William & Mary, followed by fireworks. Additionally, the city will host a Zoning Ordinance Amendments open house on September 2 from 5-8 p.m. at the Sherwood Center, inviting public review and comments before fall public hearings.
