The ShakesBeer Festival is back! Celebrating our 6th year and triumphant return with amazingly crafted beers and the fantastic humans that create them. Located on the grounds of the historic American Shakespeare Theater overlooking beautiful Long Island Sound. Featuring 50+ craft breweries, live music, local food trucks & vendors and games & activities with a fun vibe. We proudly support the attending brewers by purchasing all of their beer for the festival. Unlike many beer festivals, there are no booth fees for brewers; the Stratford Oldtimers Athletic Association actually pays them for their product on top of donating a portion of every ticket sold towards athletic scholarships for Stratford students. Tickets are $49 In Advance, and $59 at the door (subject to availability).
