a fall celebration of community – for a good cause – hosted by your friendly neighborhood breweries!
Oktoberfestiversary returns! Begyle Brewing and Dovetail Brewery are hosting their annual Fall party! Join us in celebrating Chicago’s coolest season and the 13th anniversary of Begyle Brewing, with food trucks, live music, and of course, lots of beer!
A suggested $5 donation at the gate will help us reach 3.5 MILLION MEALS donated from our events to The Friendship Center!
Just a $20 donation can provide about 150 meals to seniors and families facing hunger in the community.
Supporting over 5,000 neighbors each month, The Friendship Center is a fresh food, full choice food pantry that also serves hot meals, delivers to homebound folks, helps people with SNAP assistance and other resources, and even has a pet food pantry once a month.
Interested in becoming an Oktoberfestiversary sponsor?
Oktoberfestiversary is more than just one of Chicago’s legendary street fests—it’s our fall celebration of beer, music, food, and community impact. This is your opportunity to connect your business with a loyal, thoughtful, and local audience while supporting a meaningful cause.
