2007 Headline Entertainment Schedule:

Friday, June 8^th at 8pm Live

Critically acclaimed, LIVE erupted onto the international music scene in the mid-1990s with "Throwing Copper," which sold more than 12 million copies worldwide. Since then, LIVE have been regular visitors to the rock charts and have maintained their popularity well into the 21st Century.

Saturday, June 9^th at 3pm Eddie From Ohio

EDDIE FROM OHIO is a band that defies typical labeling.  Too energetic to be "folk" and not angry enough to be pegged as "alternative," the band is happy to have their own style... which is just fine with their loyal fans!

Saturday, June 9^th at 8pm Smash Mouth

With some of the most memorable songs of the past decade, SMASH MOUTH's string of hits are known to diverse audiences; including their initial hit "Walkin' on the Sun" and the iconic follow-up "All-Star," SMASH MOUTH's show promises to be amazing!

Sunday, June 10^th at 4pm Little Big Town

With their melodies evoking the styles of Fleetwood Mac, LITTLE BIG TOWN's critical acclaim has been overwhelming, including multiple nominations for this past year's Grammy and Country Music Association (CMA's) awards.

In addition to the outstanding entertainment schedule, there are plenty of enhancements to the already extensive family programming at Celebrate Fairfax!, including new initiatives such as the Verizon Literacy Corner (which will feature literacy-based activities and storytelling), the all-new version of the Virginia Lottery Laser Spectacular and an enhanced ExxonMobil Children's Avenue.  This year’s Fairfax County Expo will include more than 40 agencies providing exhibits focused around the theme, "Fairfax County: Past, Present & Future."
