What's New!

FOSC EARTH DAY BENEFIT CONCERT was a huge success!!!

On Saturday, April 21, a local Grateful Dead Tribute Band, The Eleven, performed an outdoor concert in Peri Park to benefit FOSC.  All proceeds will be donated to FOSC for their efforts to preserve and acquire open space in Fairfax.  Thanks to all who participated and donated to FOSC.  

A San Francisco-based tribute band, The Eleven, draws on nearly a century of collective musical talent and changing gear, sounds, vocals and dynamics in its precise approach to the legendary music of the Grateful Dead. The band is known for highly authentic concert performances that reproduce the sound, feel and vibe of specific eras in the Grateful Dead catalog. 

Band members: Clint Bajakian, Nick Sandoval, Michael Land, Ryan Hickey, Paul Scannell, Paige Clem. 

The concert is FREE with tax-deductible donations to FOSC strongly encouraged!
This is a Zero Waste Event - There is no alcohol permitted in the Park.
