Celebrating Excellence

Awards

Celebrate Fairfax contributes to many award programs throughout Fairfax County. Salute to Lord and Lady Fairfax and the Juneteenth Resiliency Awards below are a few of the initiatives worked on in the past few years.

Salute to Lord and Lady Fairfax


The tradition of honoring Lord and Lady Fairfax began in 1984 as a way to recognize the outstanding citizens of Fairfax County.

Each year, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors selects two individuals from each district who have demonstrated exceptional volunteer service, heroism, or other special accomplishments to receive the award.

View the 2021 Honorees and program here.
