The 3rd Annual Fairfield Oktoberfest Returns this Fall!

The Town of Fairfield’s 3rd annual Fairfield Oktoberfest is just a few weeks away! The event, which is free and open to the public, will take place, rain or shine, on September 13 from 2PM – 6PM in The Lot at the Fairfield Theatre Company, which is located at 70 Sanford Street in downtown Fairfield. This event is being co-hosted by the Fairfield Office of Community & Economic Development, Fairfield Community Services, and Fairfield Theatre Company.

This year’s event will feature live music by the Grammy nominated and the 12x award winning International Polka Band Association of Chicago’s “Favorite Band/Instrumental Group of the Year”, Dennis Polisky & Maestro’s Men.  The musical entertainment will continue throughout the afternoon as we welcome local favorite, Dan Tressler & Friends!

Local food trucks with festive food offerings will be on site as well as vendors presenting a curated selection of adult beverages for those 21 and older. In addition to traditional lawn games and axe throwing, we’re thrilled to welcome Dryvebox to this year’s event with the addition of their mobile golf simulator! And the fun doesn’t stop there, we’ve added a 9-hole mini golf course, too! Commemorative Fairfield Oktoberfest t-shirts and steins will be available for purchase.
