Welcome to the Fair Oaks Website.
Fair Oaks (population: 28,808) is a
well-established community located in the unincorporated area of Sacramento
County. It consists of a mix of suburban and semi-rural neighborhoods. The area
is home to rolling hills and numerous native oaks that add its quality of life.
The views of the American River Bluffs and the surrounding attractions of the
Nimbus Hatchery and Folsom Dam also add to the distinctive character of Fair
Oaks.
Fair Oaks’ uniqueness also stems from its existing
business core and town center, known as the Fair Oaks Village. The village is
home to narrow winding roads, rolling hills, an open-air amphitheatre, and a
historic plaza of historic buildings full of unique galleries and shops. The
village shares the similar characteristics one could find in a small town
atmosphere. The Plaza Park Amphitheatre, located in the Village, is the main
site of the Fair Oaks Theatre Festival, one of the diverse outdoor community
theatres in the area. The village area is also the site of the annual Fiesta
Days, an event celebrating the residents of Fair Oaks; the 2003 theme is
“Families and Fun”.
The community’s land-use decisions are made by the
Fair Oaks Community Planning Council, a seven-member body appointed by district
by the County Board of Supervisors. One of four pilot councils, the group meets
monthly to vote on issues ranging from lot-splits to cell phone towers. For more
information visit the
Fair Oaks Community Planning Council website.
