Music scene · Fair Lakes

Fair Lakes is a planned community in Fairfax County where music is mostly private and community-based. School bands, church groups, and residential events provide performance opportunities, while professionals travel to Washington, D.C. or northern Virginia cities.

Community centers, church halls, and school auditoriums host the majority of performances. There are no public music venues in Fair Lakes, so musicians head to Fairfax, Vienna, or D.C. for gigs.

Local and regional artists perform here, with D.C.-area musicians sometimes booked for community events and private gatherings in the suburbs.
