About our Programs
Rose Award
The Fairfield Beautification Commission has established the Rose Award to recognize Fairfield city residents who have improved or maintained their yard, dwelling or business and created a positive aesthetic appeal. The award is intended to inspire others to take pride in their property and to improve the overall quality of life in Fairfield.
FBC members will act as judges to select the winner of the Rose Award. The final decision will be based on evidence of the contribution to Fairfield's community appeal.
Winners of the award will receive a sign to display in their yard or window as well as a Rose Award certificate signed by our mayor.
Streetsweeper's Ball
The Streetsweeper's Ball is a community-led event held each spring. We started as a small group of friends who wanted to make a difference in our community. Over time, our passion and dedication grew. Today, we work with dozens of volunteers and community partners to create a more beautiful downtown.
Planting
From tulips to petunias to mums, we love downtown Fairfield to blossom with waves of color. We encourage you to check out our Events page for the next Fairfield Planting event!
Plogging
Plogging is a combination of jogging and picking up litter, merging the Swedish verb plocka upp (pick up) and jogga (jog). Walk or jog - plogging leaves you feeling good knowing that you're doing your bit for the environment while helping to beautify your town.
