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 Commission, a seven-member body appointed by district by the County Board of Supervisors. One of original four pilot Community Planning Council's, the newly named Community Planning Commission meets monthly to vote on issues ranging from lot-splits to cell phone towers. For more information visit the Fair Oaks Community Planning Commission website.
