The ShakesBeer Festival is back! Join us as we celebrate our 7th year with an array of amazingly crafted beers and the fantastic individuals who create them. The festival will take place on the grounds of the historic American Shakespeare Theater, offering breathtaking views of the beautiful Long Island Sound. With over 50 craft breweries, live music, local food trucks and vendors, as well as games and activities, it's the perfect recipe for good times and unforgettable memories! 
 
We take pride in supporting the attending brewers by purchasing all of their beer for the festival. Unlike many beer festivals, the Stratford Oldtimers Athletic Association goes above and beyond by not only paying the brewers for their products but also donating proceeds from every ticket sold towards Stratford youth athletic programs and scholarships for graduating seniors.
