SOB Festival

Mark your calendars for the 16th Annual Springfield Oyster & Beer Festival on September 5th | 11 to 4 at the Ansar Shrine Center

It was a casual conversation between a few local Springfield business owners, who then realized that, with a little bit of teamwork, they could make it happen. The organizers simply wanted to bring a quality beer fest to Springfield,support Midwest craft brewers and have a good time! In addition, they decided to donate all profits to a local Springfield or Sangamon County charities. The

first Springfield Oyster and Beer Festival, held September 11, 2010, was a great success and so much fun they decided to do it again (and again)! The SOB Festival is held in the parking lot of The Inn at 835. Rain or shine, we invite you to join us for excellent craft beer, great food, first-rate entertainment, and to help us support our community.

How do you like your oysters? 🦪 Raw, chargrilled...not at all?

We get it, maybe not everyone loves oysters as much as we do. Even if you're just here for the beer, we've got you covered with some local favorite food trucks: Twyford BBQ, Mad Dog Concession and Gyros Stop
