Go Free and CAR-Free: The Arlington County Fair

Did you know the Arlington County Fair is one of the largest FREE events on the East Coast? Event organizers have made it easy to go CAR-FREE as well. 

  • Hop on the shuttle (also FREE) from the Ballston Mall Parking Garage; 

  • Catch the ART or Metrobus; 

  • Roll up by bike, bikeshare, or scooter (and park at the expanded bike parking area);

  • Stroll to the fairgrounds from surrounding neighborhoods 

However you roll, BikeArlington and WalkArlington will be waiting for you. Visit our event page to learn more about where you can find us.
