About the Fest

Each summer the Saengerbund throws open its grounds for Bierfest — our beloved outdoor German beer festival. Cold imported and domestic beers flow from the tap, the kitchen fires up traditional German food, and live music fills the tent from afternoon into the evening.

Bierfest has been a community gathering place for two decades, drawing families, neighbors, and beer lovers from across Connecticut. Everyone is welcome, bring the whole family.
