I went last year and it was sort of like a carnival with entertainment and rides, etc.; but on the official website, it doesn't say anything about rides...am I thinking of something different?

No, you're thinking of the same thing...however, the official website does have this, among others:



The Festival is over however...

=======

Edit: I see it also had this: Carnival

The dates are kinda prominently featured on the home web page of the festival:

Home - Celebrate Fairfax Festival

Strangely, I did the exact thing a few festivals ago - was seriously planning on going with family and was sadly shocked when I found it had already taken place the prior weekend.

BTW - since this is a serious mistake to make I would humbly suggest there is something imperfect about the "marketing" of the festival.
