Things to Do and Entertainment

Fairfield shines when it comes to events, and none is brighter than the Fuzzy Peach Festival each July. This celebration of Freestone County’s peach-growing legacy transforms the town into a festive, family-friendly wonderland. Live music fills the air, local vendors set up colorful booths, and the scent of peach cobbler drifts down the streets. From art and games to tournaments and community showcases, the festival is both a tribute to local heritage and a joyful summer tradition.

In September, the Annual Show of Wheels takes over Courthouse Square with hundreds of collectible and vintage vehicles on display. It’s a favorite among locals and visitors alike, with food trucks, live music, and plenty of activities to round out a day of admiring classic cars and custom builds. Outside of these headline events, you’ll find plenty to do throughout the year—from fitness classes to weekend strolls through town and lake outings in the surrounding countryside.
